Here It's Almost Sunset

Here it's almost sunset

So why is the sun shining brighter

How can this be

How can I still see

Everything all around me

Darker and lighter

Stumbling down this avenue

Thought I'd call and try to describe

These treasures that I've found

Just lying around

And I'm crying out loud here to reach

The rest of my tribe

A player is speaking to me

His brain running out of the end of his fingers

He is speaking in tongues

His feeling just runs

Right out my side of the street

And a hint of it lingers

This is probably all my fault

This is the life I chose

For better or for worse

I picked this verse

As the one where finally I'd tell you

Where the truth rose

And my truth is just this

The music snuck in and it's playing me

The keys and the strings

Are all wonderful things

And it's taking a hold of and then

Setting me free
