Lyrics:
My seed is sown now, my field is plowed;
My flesh is bone now, my back is bowed.
[Refrain:]
So hurry, sundown, be on your way,
And hurry me a sun-up from this beat-up sundown day.
Hurry down, sundown, be on your way;
Weave me tomorrow out of today.
Tomorrow's breeze now, blows clear and loud;
I'm off my knees now, I'm standing proud.
[Refrain]
My sorrow's song, now, just must break through,
That brave new dawn, now, long overdue.
[Refrain]
Hurry down, sundown, get thee be gone,
Get lost in the sunrise, of a new dawn.
Hurry down, sundown, take the old day,
Wrap it in new dreams, send it my way!
Send it my way!
Send it my way!
Yes, there's a point to this. This was the video I was looking for when I ran across the one by the Outlaws. And the reason I was looking for that video, the one by Peter, Paul, and Mary, was that their version of "Hurry Sundown" perfectly matches the last 2-3 scenes of "Amazing Grace," a novella included in Rich's and my new collection, Phanerozoic Dreamin' (now available on Scribd.com). I'm ready to go to bed now.
