Setting Sun Lyrics
Eskimo Joe
Lyrics
I've been waiting for too long,
Staring at the sun
Waiting for the night to come,
So I can get things done
I can't wait for this no more,
My eyes have come undone
If my star will ever rise,
Let it be the only one
And if I see you waiting for the setting sun,
It will never come
And if it ever comes, you're forever young
You're forever young
Ice is just a remedy for pain and rising heat,
Hold it in your hands and watch the puddles form around your feet
And if you drink the water,
It might just stop the pain
From dreaming of the fever drowning holes around your name
And if I see you waiting for the setting sun,
It will never come
And if it ever comes, you're forever young,
You're forever young
If your scared about the future,
I'm scared about the past
And if your feeling ill, it's cause the world is spinning fast
Yeah you're staring at the sun,
Yeah you better all hold on
And watch the sky become the ground
Forever Young
And if I see you waiting for the setting sun,
It will never come
And if it ever comes, you're forever young,
You're forever young
