Lonesome Sundown

Black river flows so slowly there's no knowing its direction 
  Just as aimlessly I followed you acourtin your affection 
  As surely as it's flowin down 
  I'll hear that high lonesome sound 
  Another solitary sun west bound 
  Towards lonesome sundown 
  Lonesome sundown, lonesome sundown 

  Lonesome toil Lonesome task 
  Bring us comfort from the past ( doug: fro-om the past ) 
  Stroll bold down the path quietly ( oooh ) 
  So great what we don't have ( ooo h ) 
  Sun shining reminding us 

  Of comfort from weather beaten hands 
  Sunset homesick silhouette 
  Against the rope burned west 
  Lonesome sundown, lonesome sundown 

  Feel no need to reason why the sun will rise and set 
  ( doug : I won't believe that it's a claustrophobic countdown to oblivion ) 
  Just as I (') burden are seen with no regret 
  ( d: That's just too much ) 
  Heading west out across the tracks 
  Then deep currents draw me back 
  Still waters can often hide the fact 
  Two hearts are crossed so deep 
  Lonesome sundown, lonesome sundown
