[chorus] [Harmonica bright wail with shuffle guitar] Whiskey sun at the closing time, Burns the frost away slow and fine. [Verse 1] Day drags tired, but the light still glows, In a glass filled with golden flows, Promises sip in amber hues, Hope beneath the evening blues. [Pre-Chorus] Pour the warmth that won’t run dry, A stubborn smile beneath the sky. [Chorus] Whiskey sun, don’t fade away, Keep the night from turning gray, Hold me close with burning light, Whiskey sun, shine through the night. [Verse 2] The road is rough and nights are cold, But stories in the glass are told, Raising spirits one last time, To the rhythm of a fading chime. [Pre-Chorus] Lost and found in smoky songs, Where the broken still belong. [Chorus] Whiskey sun, don’t fade away, Keep the night from turning gray, Hold me close with burning light, Whiskey sun, shine through the night. [Bridge] [Harmonica solo soulful and warm] Let the fire outlast the pain, The whiskey sun will rise again. [Verse 3] So when darkness comes to call, I’ll find light inside it all, Whiskey sun, you’re never done, Carrying hope for everyone. [Chorus] Whiskey sun, don’t fade away, Keep the night from turning gray, Hold me close with burning light, Whiskey sun, shine through the night. [Outro Chorus] [Full band crescendo] Whiskey sun, forever gleam, Lighting up the wildest dream. [outro musical solo] Whiskey sun, forever gleam, [fade to end] Lighting up the wildest dream. [fade to end] The wildest dream. [end]
