Testo Hurry Sundown

(Robinson/Harburg)

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!
