As the sun goes down, down around my ankles whoa my my

There's a sliver of light shaking through the night to my window

I sit by the fire, as the rain outside comes down like knives

& I tell only lies, little lullabies, girl I'm so young

But we must east ourselves back to life, yeah tonight

Cos we ain't been ourselves half the time, & it ain't right

Feel it getting heavy, heavy as the night

You ask me if somethings wrong, I don't know about that, babe

But it don't feel right

Girl I stole a horse, black as night and named it the truth

I'll come by your place, you wear your white dress and what we'll do

There's a place I know, my grandfather told me where to go

A little mango grove with a river boat, down in Mexico

& we will ride on through the night, yeah tonight

Down, down, down, down, where the water tastes like wine

Cos this lonely life is not for me, can't you see?

Still I hear it calling me, "come and get daylight" daylight...

Waiting for my time, ohh I...Oh I... (repeated)
