I see the setting sun on the homes
In a far off distant place away from here
I see the tall new buildings
Against the skyline when the day is clear
I once had a job out there
And a certain girl I met
But that was many years ago
Her face I can't forget.
I see the setting sun on the homes
In a far off distant place
A distant place away from here
[Bridge]
The north side of the city
Is where I want to be
The north side of the city
There is someone there for me.
I have no one to take me there
'been out of work too long
I know it's the place where I belong
On a cold and dark winters night
The roof leaking on my head
I should have stuck around to see
With someone to share my bed
I see the setting sun on the homes
In a far off distant place away from here
I see the tall new buildings
Against the skyline when the day is clear
Things were good way back then
And time was passing fast
The things we did I can't forget
But I knew it couldn't last
I see the setting sun on the homes
In a far off distant place
A distant place away from here
On a cold and dark winters night
The roof leaking on my head
I should have stuck around to see
With someone to share my bed
I see the setting sun on the homes
In a far off distant place
A distant place away from here (repeat)
