Into the Night edited lyrics, music added.

 February Album Writing Month (FAWM) title skirmish. I wrote and posted the lyrics on 2/16. Today (2/25) I came up with the music and edited  the lyrics.


The sun shines bright on an old Kentucky Home

Somewhere the deer and antelope might roam

The sunshine could get taken away

Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue.


Here and now life is going up and down

Living the dream, living a nightmare,

Go to sleep every night, get up each morning

Life goes on from day into night.


Just another day

Just another night

Just another day doing what you do

From day into night.


The earth keeps turning, gravity holding

We ride from light to dark

Hanging on as we spin on and on

From day into the night.


Just another day

Just another night

Just another day doing what you do

From day into night.


Just another day turning into night

the sun setting to the west

Maybe a bottle of beer, 

a  glass of wine, 

a cup of tea, as you settle down.


Maybe it was just another day at work

Another day at school

Another day raising kids

Another day with nothing much to do

Another day out on the streets

Another day hustling for a job

Another day happy, another day sad

Light and dark, day to night.
