Black river flows so slowly there's no knowing its direction Just as aimlessly I followed you acourtin your affection As surely as it's flowin down I'll hear that high lonesome sound Another solitary sun west bound Towards lonesome sundown Lonesome sundown, lonesome sundown Lonesome toil Lonesome task Bring us comfort from the past (doug: fro-om the past) Stroll bold down the path quietly (oooh) So great what we don't have (ooo h) Sun shining reminding us Of comfort from weather beaten hands Sunset homesick silhouette Against the rope burned west Lonesome sundown, lonesome sundown Feel no need to reason why the sun will rise and set (Doug: I won't believe that it's a claustrophobic countdown to oblivion) Just as I (') burden are seen with no regret (D: That's just too much) Heading west out across the tracks Then deep currents draw me back Still waters can often hide the fact Two hearts are crossed so deep Lonesome sundown, lonesome sundown
