Sunset Morning

Verse 1

Coffee cools on the sill while the crickets wind down

Dust rides the headlights of the last car from town

That old screen door keeps swinging on a half-rusted hinge

And I keep turning circles in the same kitchen light

Pre-Chorus

Sun going sideways across the floor

Making me wish it was morning once more

Chorus

Sunset morning what a backwards thing to say

Painted all in peaches while the moon gets underway

You left me with the evening and I'm chasing it away

Trying to find a sunrise in the fading of the day

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh oh-oh

Fading of the day

Verse 2

Your jacket's still on the hook by the door like you'll be back

The radio hums a station that's gone all to static

I can't blame the darkness for how empty it feels

Lord I'm just a man whose piano got stolen from the keys

Pre-Chorus

Night rolling in without a single sound

Making me wish you were still around

Chorus

Sunset morning what a backwards thing to say

Painted all in peaches while the moon gets underway

You left me with the evening and I'm chasing it away

Trying to find a sunrise in the fading of the day

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh oh-oh

Fading of the day

Bridge

I could chase the light till my boots wear through

Till the road turns silver and the sky turns blue

But the sun that's sinking is the one that rose on us

And no amount of wishing ever seems like enough

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Sunset morning what a backwards thing to say

Painted all in peaches while the moon gets underway

You left me with the evening and I'm chasing it away

Trying to find a sunrise in the fading of the day

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh oh-oh

Fading of the day
