Evening Sun
Jon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All the colors of the evening sun
On your sweet face
Take me home

Like the fullness of the midnight moon
Pure and simple
I love you
So few hold the hand of faithfulness
I can't let up
Mad for you

It is good to find a lover in this life
Take her to the water and never ever leave her out to dry
But my father always sang this chord
Set your eyes upon the Lord
Set your eyes upon the Lord

Oh, the feeling when I kissed your mouth
Middle of night
Such relief

Ain't no currency to buy your heart
Pure as gold is
What reward

And it is good to find a lover in this life
Take her to the waters and never ever leave her out to dry
But my father always sang this chord




Set your eyes upon the Lord
Set your eyes upon the Lord
