HOT NEVADA SUN
1.
THIS AFTERNOON WHILE I AM RESTING IN THE HOT NEVADA SUN,
I'M ALSO WARMED BY THOUGHTS OF YOU
AND OF ALL THAT WE HAVE DONE.
NOW YOU'RE OUT IN RED ROCK CANYON
WHERE I KNOW YOU'RE HAVING FUN,
WHILE I'M LAYING HERE, WARMED BY YOU,
AND THE HOT NEVADA SUN
2.
MY MIND WENT BACK TO ANOTHER DAY
TO A DAY THAT HAD NO SUN
AND ONCE MORE i WAS CHILLED AGAIN
BY THAT COLDEST, COLDEST ONE.
IT WAS THE DAY A DOCTOR TOLD ME
THAT OUR NEWBORN CHILD HAD DIED
WORDS CAN'T EXPRESS JUST WHAT I FELT
BUT I WISH I COULD HAVE CRIED
3.
ALL WARMTH AND FEELING VANISHED
AS THOSE WORDS SPILLED FROM HIS MOUTH
THE WORLD I'D KNOWN HAD NOW GROWN COLD
AS IF THE SUN BURNED OUT
THEN, HE SAID A NAME, THAT WAS NOT ME
OH NO, I WAS NOT THAT ONE
AND SUDDENLY, I WAS WARMED AGAIN
BY THE HOT NEVADA SUN
4.
WHEN OUR HEARTS ARE NOT TOGETHER DEAR
IT CHILLS ME THROUGH AND THROUGH
'CAUSE I KNOW I'M BEING LESS THAN ME
IN ALL I SAY, OR DO
EACH DOUBT IS MY CREATION
WHEN I FORGET THAT WE ARE ONE
BUT AS SOON AS I AM SANE AGAIN
I FEEL THE HOT NEVADA SUN
5.
THIS AFTERNOON WHILE I AM RESTING
IN THE HOT NEVADA SUN.
I'M ALSO WARMED BY THOUGHTS OF YOU
AND OF ALL THAT WE HAVE DONE.
NOW YOU'RE OUT IN RED ROCK CANYON,
WHERE i KNOW YOU'RE HAVING FUN
WHILE I'M LAYING HERE
WARMED BY YOU
AND THE HOT NEVADA SUN.
6.
EACH OF US WILL ONE DAY LEAVE
THIS OLD WORLD WE SEE
BUT I BELIEVE IN YOU AND ME
AND IN ETERNITY
WE'LL SHARE THESE HOURS TOGETHER
UNTIL OUR DAYS ARE DONE
AND THEN SLIP OFF, ONE BY ONE,
INTO THE HOT NEVADA SUN
7.
YES, WE'LL SHARE THESE YEARS TOGETHER
UNTIL OUR LIVES ARE DONE
AND THEN SLIP OFF, ONE BY ONE
INTO THE HOT NEVADA SUN......
