Ray LaMontagne - Till The Sun Turns Black

can you see the young and pretty confident as cops
looming laughing in the shops
till the sun turns black
can you see the old and lonely
walking through the park
pushing grocery carts
till the sun turns black
can you see the corporate man
he's winning on the telephone
his possesions are his throne
till the sun turns black
can you see him in his lounge
watching tv in the dark
waiting for a spark
till the sun turns black
oh oh oh oh
who are we? who are we?
can you see the politician
milling on a hill
will he kill another bill
till the sun turns black
can you see the working classes
trudging through their days
time goes slowly when you're only
waiting till the sun turns black
oh oh oh oh
who are we? who are we?
oh oh oh oh
who are we? who are we?
can you see the violent simply
living loving violently
every breath it takes eternity
till the sun turns black.
