Eclipse Lyrics

Artist: John Denver
Album: Back Home Again

This song appears on six albums, and was first released on the Back Home Again Album, and has also been rerecorded on The Country Roads Collection, Earth Songs, The Very Best of John Denver (both the Single and Double CD) Albums and The John Denver Collection - Sunshine On My Shoulder.

The sun is slowly fadin in the western sky
Sometimes it takes forever for the day to end
Sometimes it takes a lifetime
Sometimes I think Ill never see the sun again

In the east a shaded moon is hangin lazily
I do believe I saw the old man smile
I do believe I did
I do believe hes been hangin all the while

I think its kind of interesting the way things get to be
The way that people work with their machines
Serenitys a long time comin to me
The fact I dont believe I know what it means

Theres a heavy smog between me and my mountains
Its enough to make a grown man sit and cry
Its enough to make you wonder
Its enough to make the world roll up and die

I think its kind of interesting the way things get to be
The way that people work with their machines
Serenitys a long time comin to me
The fact I dont believe I know what it means any more

When the sun is slowly fadin in the western sky
Sometimes it takes forever the day to end
Sometimes it takes a lifetime
Sometimes I think Ill never see the sun again
Sun again

The line, “ I think it kind of interesting the way things get to be....” has been repeated in my thoughts almost daily. It is a brilliant line that says volumes about where we find ourselves at any given moment in time.
