A LONG TIME TILL DARK song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

The sun comes up
the wheel goes round
another day
another town

in the fields
the reapers reap
the sky goes blue
the end of sleep

the cows come out
the graze again
the horses look
into the wind

now their day has had a start
and it's a long time till dark

I stop at six
a cuppa Joe
where the time went
I dunno

it seems I drove
a million nights
to get to where
I don't know why

and straight ahead
the highway calls
I couldn't live
inside four walls

outside the door I hear dogs bark
and it's a long time till dark

I had a home
I had a life
a steady job
a steady wife

but now I ride
as if on fire
and race the day
to my desire

and maybe if
there is an end
I will be glad
to find a friend

the sun moves on a silent arc
and it's a long time till dark

I am just a lonely man
and this is all that I can
do

The sun comes up
the wheel goes round
another day
another town...
