Sittin' in the yard listenin' to 'What I say'
The west sun shines like the voice of Ray
That sweet song's got me leaning in a special way
Animal babies running by my feet
With an agenda I can't know or meet
It's they do their way, today I guess I'll do mine
Because the west sun's shining and I'm feeling fine

I'm gonna play beds burnin' into dumb things
I'm gonna show my little baby her man can sing
I'm going to howl at the pale moon and the fading light
Because the west sun's shining and it feels alright

Ooh ah eh! Not a word I say
Could speak of this fleeting paradise
Woh eh oh! On and on it goes
On and on and on like a Gil Askey show
Because the west sun's shining
And I'm in it's glow

I'm gonna hold this moment like fishing time
Gonna beat my demons kick 'em down the line
I'm going to howl
I'm going to scream
I'm going to ?
I'm going to play on my drums
Til the neighbours scream and whine
Because the west sun's shining and I'm feeling fine
Ooh ah eh! Not a word I say
Could speak of this fleeting paradise
Woh eh oh! On and on it goes
On and on and on like a Gil Askey show
Because the west sun's shining
And I'm in it's glow
