Hello my friend how long has it been   you've been out west a traveling   well this country is cruel and folks are scared   a fella's gotta take some care      i see you're hurting don't explain   just come in from the falling rain   we'll have a cup and look out the pane   until the storm has blown away      so pull up a seat and sit with me   no need for words or sympathy   cause i know you and you know me   we'll watch the sun go down      we'll bring a bottle we'll tell some tales   we'll sit up on a big hay bail   when night has come and the moon is high   we'll draw some pictures on the sky      the morning's near and the sky is red   i'll tiptoe to my sweetheart's bed   well you go your way and i'll go mine   i'll see you soon on down the line      so pull up a seat and sit with me   no need for words or sympathy   watch the sun set on the trees   just like we used to do      love has come and love is gone   i'm just trying to carry on   i learned some things and then forgot   i ended up where i set off      i love my lady sharp and hot   loving her takes all i got   but my love for you is long and slow   and keeps on steady as she goes      so pull up a seat and sit with me   no need for words or sympathy   cause i know you and you know me   we'll watch the sun go down   we'll watch the sun go down
