I'm holding my fingers back I'm painting six strings on your red carpet In fact I'm doing you a favour tonight I won't go out so there ain't nothin' to fight The blue clock'll show us what the future will say I hope there's more for us than just the shorter way The edge of the top smiles and looks down to us Oh, what a sundown Oh, what a pretty day Oh, what a sunset tonight But I traveled too long to stay I traveled too long to stay So I just did it: I ran away I traveled too long to stay So I just did it: I ran away Oh, what a sundown Oh, what a pretty day Please stay for me
