Home On the Range (Storyette Version) - David Jeremiah

About this time of evening, out by the bay They turn the road lights on the bridge Well, a diesel rolls in silhouette, eastbound Lovers glad the sun has set I'm staring into twilight Wishing I could find someone tonight I know she's out there somewhere On the western skyline Lonely women say a prayer On the western skyline The rooftops sag on Second Street Bachelor's quarters Too much fun, not enough dough Well, the kite's still hanging on the wire Waiting on the wind Too many dreams, not enough hope Voices on my radio Telling me where I should go I know she's out there somewhere (somewhere) On the western skyline Lonely women say a prayer (say a prayer) On the western skyline They'll set up on the bandstand When the sailors hear the whistle blow Underneath the streetlight Violence in the afterglow Give me a shiny Cadillac And close your eyes past that city limits sign Well, he's got the admiral's daughter He's got her in the back Trying to cross her battle line As I'm staring into twilight Wishing I could be with her tonight Whoa, oh I know she's out there somewhere (somewhere) On the western skyline Lonely women say a prayer (say a prayer) On the western skyline (whoa-oa!) I know she's out there somewhere On the western skyline

I've been getting lost Feeling halfway to something I want But here and there there's a light on You flicker softly, stringing along And then you're gone Backing out And it's been coming back The weight of walking for counting my steps Just give me something to run towards I've been holding onto nothing at all Just counting the time I just wanna look up and see you there But I'll never be running up again to find you Asking you to stay I've been parting ways With all the feelings up staying in place Cause what if now I can leave here To find quiet in the back of my mind Just give me some time I just wanna look up and see you there But I'll never be running up again to find you Asking you to stay

Jeremiah was dealt his hand Went off to another land this evening For to find some inner peace And to see a better way of living He only went to try to change something His poor young life was pulled from under him Found him by the motorway Jeremiah ran away from something Jeremiah's mother wept For the answers they had left behind them He only went to try and change something His poor young life was pulled from under him And everytime I see the sun go down I think of you The polizei have swept it out of sight There's nothing new And everytime I see the sun go down I think of you I hope someday someone will feel the need to tell the truth Little one do not fear The ways of the world Will soon be clear
