El Sol

Mark Lanegan

The sun is gone, and that's all I really know

No angels in the air

With hearts as good as gold

The closer you stand to the gates

The more the gates are closed



These darkened days

Make somebody's hunger and thirst

The blessed burns the sun

He's throwin' shadows on the earth

The shadow you find at the gate

And all the gates are closed

Oh yeah



Anytime you find your race is run

Felt much colder standin' in the sun

Waitin' for some warmth and comin' down

Felt much older than I really was

Waitin' for some warmth and comin' down



The sun is gone, yeah that's all I really know

No angels in the air

With hearts as good as gold

The closer you stand to the gates

The more the gates are closed



Anytime you find your race is run

Felt much colder standin' in the sun

Waitin' for some warmth and comin' down

Felt much older than I really was

Waitin' for some warmth and comin' down

Felt much older standin' in the sun'

Waitin' for some warmth and comin' down (repeat)
