Lyrics

It’s an oth er te qui la sun rise

star in’ slow ly ’cross the sky,

said good bye.

He was just a hired hand

work in’ on the dreams he planned to try,

the days go by.

Ev ’ry night when the (C)sun goes down,

just an oth er (C)lone ly boy in town,

and (Am)she’s out run nin’ ’round.

She was n’t just an oth er wom an

and I could n’t keep from com in’ on,

it’s been so long.

Oh, and it’s a hol low feel in’,

when it comes down to deal in’ (Am)friends,

it nev er ends.

Take an oth er (D)shot of cour age,

won der why the (E)right words nev er come,

you just get numb.

It’s an oth er te qui la sun rise,

this old world still looks the same,

an oth er frame.

Mm.
