Sunset Monkeys

Adam Dunning

Compositor: Adam Dunning

Sunset monkeys
Sitting on the wire
High above the fire
On the streets below

Sunset monkeys
Singing that forgotten song
Of one for another
Living each day

Burning skies all around
Monkeys sing to their own sound

Sunset monkeys
Sitting on the wire
Living love in their own way
Living each day
Living each day

Do they ever hear the cry
Of a world that's passing by
Would they ever see the sun
As it used to be

Sunset monkeys
Brothers of a simple life
Together and free
And they're just like you and me
We see ourselves in those eyes
Why don't we see them when they cry?

Sunset monkeys
Sitting on the wire
Living love in their own way
Living each day
Together and free
And they're just like you and me

Living, loving, playing each day

Sunset monkeys
Sitting on the wire
High above the fire
On the streets below

Sunset monkeys
Singing that forgotten song
Of one for another
Living each day

Sunset monkeys
Sitting on the wire
Living love in their own way
Living each day
How can they be
Just like you and me
