On The Western Skyline by Bruce Hornsby

About this time of evening, out by the bay
Turn the road lights on the bridge
Well, a diesel rolls in silhouette, eastbound
Lovers glad the sun has set
I'm starin' into twilight wishin' I could find someone tonight

I know she's out there somewhere
On the western skyline
Lonely women say a prayer
On the western skyline

Rooftops sag on second street, bachelor's quarters
Too much fun, not enough though
Well, the kite's still hangin' on the wire, waitin' on the wind
Too many dreams, an' not enough hope
Voices on my radio, tellin' me where I should go

I know she's out there somewhere, somewhere
On the western skyline
Lonely women say a prayer, say a prayer
On the western skyline

They'll set up on the bandstand
When the sailors hear the whistle blow
Underneath the streetlight
Violence in the afterglow

Give me shiny Cadillac, close your eyes
Past that city limits sign
Well, he's got the admiral's daughter, he's got her in the back
Tryin' to cross her battle line
As I'm starin' into the twilight wishin' I could be with her tonight

I know she's out there somewhere, somewhere
On the western skyline
Lonely women say a prayer, say a prayer
On the western skyline
I know she's out there somewhere
On the western skyline
