Eastern Sunset

There's a convoy of eastern dinkies

Flies on the wall of death

Caught in a crazy time warp

Trubs, Mercedes what's next?

Stretched out to the distant horizon

Gypsies in search of a dream

Driven on through the snow and the cold wind

Hypnotized by the things that they'd seen

And the fire burns bright

So bright in their eyes

While the past it cuts deep

In all of our lives

And the face of a child

Tells its own special tale

As she looks for the west

Where her future unveils

There's an eastern sunset

At the border of life

And we've travelled so far

Like wings through the night

There's an eastern sunset

See the coming of age

It's a memory we'll keep

In a lifetime of change

There's an army of brothers and sisters

Forty years in the wilderness

Marching the road to freedom

As the darkness descends at the frontier

The crowd gather just for the feast

And we make our way to the footlights

As the sound of a thousand hearts beat

And the fire burns bright

So bright in their eyes

While the past it cuts deep

In all of our lives

And the face of a child

Tells its own special tale

As she looks for the west

Where her future unveils

There's an eastern sunset

At the border of life

And we've travelled so far

Like wings through the night

There's an eastern sunset

See the coming of age

It's a memory we'll keep

In a lifetime of change

Stop the show cvame the call from Mike

Won't somebody call the cops

Let the ambulance through

There's a life at stake

Not a minute to be lost

The wounded is taken away

He's winning his fight for life

The crowd settle down

To the gig once more

As the evening reaches a high

We leave the stage to the shouts for more

But what more does tonight have in store

It feels like we travelled half way

Round the world, but never left home at all

There's an eastern sunset

At the border of life

And we've travelled so far

Like wings through the night

There's an eastern sunset

See the coming of age

It's a memory we'll keep

In a lifetime of change
