Lyrics
Well, I walked out this evening
Expressing the act of leaving or stepping out in the evening.
Stood out in front of my house
Standing in front of the house, perhaps symbolizing a moment of reflection.
To see the daylight leaving
Observing the fading daylight, marking the end of the day.
My eyes pointed south
Looking south, indicating a specific direction or contemplation.
I felt like I was dreaming
Perceiving a dreamlike quality in the surroundings.
I'd never seen the sky so red
Noting an unusually red sky, a vivid and possibly symbolic sight.
Gave me the strangest feeling
Experiencing an unusual feeling, prompting introspection.
And a voice inside me said
Hearing a voice inside, suggesting inner thoughts or insights.
All my life I've been chasing setting suns
A reflection on a lifelong pursuit of elusive goals or aspirations.
See me running up the hill when the evening comes
Describing the act of running uphill when the day turns into evening.
They get further away the faster that I run
Realization that goals seem to move farther away with increased effort.
I'm getting old and tired of chasing setting suns
Expressing weariness and fatigue in the pursuit of dreams.
Walked down to the ocean
Transitioning to a scene by the ocean, a place for contemplation.
And sat on the cold hard stones
Sitting on cold stones, suggesting a sense of discomfort or hardship.
Saw the seabirds fishing and the sunlight glistening
Observing nature's beauty with seabirds and sunlight on water.
Down on my English home
Mentioning an English home, hinting at a connection to one's roots.
Thought back to all the things I've seen
Reflecting on past experiences and memories.
The people I know and the places I've been
Recalling people and places that have been part of the journey.
The city skylines and the fields of green
Contrasting urban landscapes with natural settings.
It's a wonder I made it home
Expressing surprise or gratitude for making it home amid life's challenges.
All my life I've been chasing setting suns
Reiterating the theme of pursuing fleeting goals throughout life.
See me running up the hill when the evening comes
Symbolizing the ongoing effort to chase aspirations as the day ends.
They get further away the faster that I run
Highlighting the elusive nature of dreams that seem to move farther away.
I'm getting old and tired of chasing setting suns
Expressing weariness and a desire to move beyond the pursuit of goals.
Well, all my life I've been chasing setting suns
Repeating the central theme of a lifelong pursuit of elusive dreams.
See me running up the hill when the evening comes
Depicting the continued effort to chase goals as evening approaches.
They get further away the faster that I run
Emphasizing the increasing difficulty of reaching distant aspirations.
I'm getting old and tired of chasing setting suns
Acknowledging the fatigue and weariness in pursuing setting suns.
I'm getting old and tired of chasing setting suns
Reiterating the exhaustion and age in the pursuit of elusive dreams.
Oh, and I'm getting old and tired of chasing setting suns
Closing with a final statement on growing tired of chasing fleeting goals.
