Lyrics for El Sol
The sun is gone And that's all I really know No angels in the air With hearts as good as gold The closer you stand to the gates The more the gates are closed These darkened days Make somebody's hunger and thirst The blessed burns the sun He's throwin' shadows on the earth The shadow you find at the gate And all the gates are closed Oh, yeah Anytime you find your race is run Felt much colder standin' in the sun Waitin' for some warmth and comin' down Felt much older than I really was Waitin' for some warmth and comin' down The sun is gone Yeah, that's all I really know No angels in the air With hearts as good as gold The closer you stand to the gates The more the gates are closed Anytime you find your race is run Felt much colder standin' in the sun Waitin' for some warmth and comin' down Felt much older than I really was Waitin' for some warmth and comin' down Felt much older standin' in the sun' Waitin' for some warmth and comin' down Waitin' for some warmth and comin' down Waitin' for some warmth and comin' down Waitin' for some warmth and comin' down
