What if I could whisper
And the lights would finally fade
Don’t worry all those faces get blurry anyway
We’ll take our time
Slow dancing down at the Blues
Resting all our hopes
Just Like all the children do.
CHORUS:
SURE THAT SUNSHINE IS SO PRETTY
KEEPS THE GLASS MOUNTAINS SOOOO WARM
BU WOAH OH
WE’LL BE DANCING HERE IN THE MOONLIGHT
BU WOAH OH
WHERE THE SIGN SAYS
SONORA 51
Heavy headed we fall into morning
Where the skies used be so blue
Til the coal dust started drifting
Up across the border one day.
CHORUS:
SURE THAT SUNSHINE IS SO PRETTY
KEEPS THE GLASS MOUNTAINS SOOOO WARM
BU WOAH OH
WE’LL BE DANCING HERE IN THE MOONLIGHT
BU WOAH OH
WHERE THE SIGN SAYS
SONORA,
SONORA FIFTY
BRIDGE
ain’t no use in going back
no way we’ll ever replace
what the desert woke up and reclaimed
STILL, the car we’re driving’
Gonna take a shot
sliding down I-10
For Sonora 51
Now the headlights are gone
And I’m pulling at my hair
Just pretending it’s you
With smiles and naughty kisses
Come back to live it all
To wipe it all away
The tear-stained photos
Withering desperation.
CHORUS:
SURE THAT SUNSHINE IS SO PRETTY
KEEPS THE GLASS MOUNTAINS SOOOO WARM
BU WOAH OH
WE’LL BE DANCING HERE IN THE MOONLIGHT
BU WOAH OH
WHERE THE SIGN SAYS
SONORA SONORA 51
YEAH EE AHH
OHH. HE YEAH AH AH
OHH. HE YEAH AH AH
OHH. HE YEAH AH AH
OHH. HE YEAH AH AH
A la la la la la
So much changes
We don’t even have to try
But the same ol’ feelings rush around
When I see that sign
When I see that sign
