Sunset Blues

It was near the snow-peaked mountains, only yesterday When you told me that our lives would change You were talking slowly and your hands were warm, they enfold me with a love so fine There was good grass dying in the fields and in the street that night And everywhere around us there was so much life You got to pay the dues to sing a sunset blues Early riser, easy going, where are you going, try and make me understand And now your head is in the clouds, and your mother's oh so proud But I'm not sure if I'm ready for this yet Because I must learn to open my heart To a love that changes so fast There was good grass dying in the fields and in the street that night There were newborn babies in the skies and in the stars that shine And everywhere around us there was so much life You got to pay the dues to sing a sunset blues
