Before the Sun Goes Down
(Urban Weber)

The driver's sweatband soaked
We shook along a winding road
A friend of mine had told me once
"Blue are moons and so are suns."

it seemed so long the sun went up
We drank to him his final cup
And gratefully he poured again
A lot of tan into our van

The double bend we went up
when the road before us bent up
From the heat of our rusty car
We stumbled into Luismi's bar

The days were getting shorter
As the weatherwoman taught us
But the sun would not attempt to fade
Before a new friend was made

(And we said)
"Hey man, what's up, mate?
We're into drum and bass"
(He said)
"If you're not into rhythm guitar
You won't get into this funky bar"
(We said)
"Why shouldn't we so suddenly?
We've come all this way up
To set us seven a day job."

(We thought:)
No, we never will be brothers seven,
or see God in heaven
before the sun goes down
No, we never will be brothers seven,
or see God in heaven
before the sun goes down

Ginger slings were given us
We'd not have thought of them because
There never had been such a thing
As a free lunch before you sing

And so we sing
And joy we bring

(We said:)
Stop now. We're all too late.
There's no time for a long debate"
(He said:)
"Come on in we'll find some place
for you to sleep." He set the pace.

Dry air, cold waters
We'd find the seven daughters
We'd come all this way up
To get us seven a day job.

No, we never will be brothers seven,
or see God in heaven
before the sun gees down
No, we never will be brothers seven,
or see God in heaven before the sun goes down
No we never will reach the eleven
people of Devon
Before the sun goes down
No, we never will be brothers seven,
or see God in heaven
before the sun goes...
No, we never will be brothers seven,
or see God in heaven
before the sun goes down
