Eclipse

This isn't my favorite John Denver song. I tend to shy away from the songs that are overtly "save the planet". Eclipse is the 10th track on a reissue of Denver's Back Home Again, originally released in 1974. Grandma's Feather Bed and Matthew vie for my favorite-it all depends on my mood. Since I couldn't put Eclipse on the playlist, you get to read the lyrics for it and listen to Grandma's instead.

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
