The Other Side Of Sundown - A search for a place that remains elusive

Описание: A wanderer's journey continues in this melodic story of relentless pursuit. With worn leather shoes and a soul full of dust, the road stretches toward a horizon yet unseen. This song captures the essence of a restless spirit chasing the elusive "other side of sundown," where peace, mystery, or maybe just a final patch of ground awaits. It's a story without an ending, a melodic map for anyone who knows the miles in their bones and follows the compass of a dream.

Lyrics (c) Marc Glasby

Though I don’t know where I’m headed
I can tell you where I’ve been
I’m still looking for the other side of sundown
And I’m getting old and ragged
Though I’m feeling rather green
But there’s those who say I’m looking pretty run down

I keep following the shadows
Of an old and faded dream,
That lies waiting on the other side of sundown
And if I fail to find it
Then that’s just the way of schemes
It’s the way of things to hit you with a come down

But I have to go on searching
For the thing I cannot find
Yes I know it’s on the other side of sun down
For I don’t know if it’s real or if
It’s all just in my mind
I’ll keep looking for the other side of sundown

Oh the miles are in my bones now
And the dust is in my soul.
It's a story without an ending,
and I play a weary role.
But I'll trade these worn-out leather shoes
For a horizon yet unseen,
'Cause I know it's on the other side of sundown,
There's places waiting out there
That's where I'm bound to be.
They are waiting on the other side of sundown

Met a man who had been somewhere,
a place you could just be,
a canyon where the sun would barely go down
So I just tipped my hat and thanked him,
'Cause my road's a mystery.
My compass only leads the other side of sundown.

Seen the towns with bright, warm windows,
Seen the houses, side by side,
but my journey hasn't started yet to slow down
My restless heart is yearning
for the spaces far and wide
that are lying on the other side of sundown

Oh the miles are in my bones now
And the dust is in my soul.
It's a story without an ending,
and I play a weary role.
But I'll trade these worn-out leather shoes
For a horizon yet unseen,
'Cause I know it's on the other side of sundown,
There's places waiting out there
That's where I'm bound to be.
They are waiting on the other side of sundown

Maybe it's a fool's errand,
Maybe glory, maybe grief.
Maybe just a final, peaceful patch of ground.
But a life spent chasing maybes
Beats a heart that's quit its beat,
So I'll walk until last light's gone and I shut down

Though I don't know where I'm headed...
I can tell you where I've been...
Still looking for... the other side of sundown
Keep on looking for the other side...
I'll be walking to the other side of sundown.
