The Sun Sets Slow

[Verse] The sun sets slowly on this lonesome town, Another whiskey bottle's nearly down. The porch light's casting empty shadows 'round, It's quiet now, no sweeter sound. [Verse 2] The gravel road still whispers your name, But the echoes now don’t sound the same. The rocking chair's got nothing to do, Since it stopped swayin’ next to you. [Chorus] Ain’t got no words left to say, They all got lost when you walked away. The sky burns down, orange fades to gray, And I’m just waiting here for yesterday. [Verse 3] The screen door sighs, it’s tired and worn, The wind is colder since you’ve been gone. The mailbox creaks, no letters inside, No hope comes up with the morning light. [Bridge] I’ve prayed each night, but heaven won’t hear, Your laughter’s gone, the silence feels near. The crow on the fence don’t even sing, Guess he’s mourning the same old thing. [Chorus] Ain’t got no words left to say, They all got lost when you walked away. The sky burns down, orange fades to gray, And I’m just waiting here for yesterday.
