I never knew the dusk could seem so sad   An empty aching in my soul   In this bright hour I speak your name in the wind   The shining world outlasts us all      Even the mountains seem to know you're gone   The foothills shimmer where they stand   The sky is still and much too beautiful   And I am missing you again      Lift me over the San Gabriels, leaning into the southern sky   The foothills burning in the afterglow, an angel fire passing by      I think of songs I might have sung to you   The love I wanted you to hear   Everytime the blazing sun goes down   Another promise disappears      I never knew the dusk could break my heart   So much longing folding in   I'd give years away to have you here   To know I can't lose you again      Lift me over the San Gabriels, leaning into the southern sky   A flight of angels must be in the wind   I know they'll pass this way tonight      Help me remember the San Gabriels, the foothills burning in the light   Let my heart rise up to where you are, I long to be with you tonight   I long to be with you tonight, I long to be with you tonight
