It's always at sunset the Hope Princeton Road You come to mind and that lightens my load The darkness is gathering the clouds overhead I'm thinking about you and something you said There's something you said that stands out in my mind You said I was lonely that made me unkind You said I should buck up and shoulder the road Those words made some sense on the Hope Princeton Road It's always at sunset the Hope Princeton Road Spirits are high but the ceiling is low I'm anticipating your bright smiling face The pleasures awaiting me inside your place Well inside your place the'll be food and a drink Something cool maybe a tonic I think Or maybe some tunes on your new stereo To counter the hum of the Hope Princeton Road It's always at sunset the Hope Princeton Road My heart beat is racing my speed is controlled I know that you're waiting an hour ahead But this part is endless you've oft heard it said You've oft head it said that life is a road It turns and it straightens, it's fast and it's slow But all that's no comfort for right now I know My life is contained on the Hope Princeton Road It's always at sunset the Hope Princeton Road You come to mind and that lightens my load The darkness is gathering the clouds overhead I'm thinking about you and something you said There's something you said that stands out in my mind You said I was lonely that made me unkind You said I should buck up and shoulder the road Those words made some sense on the Hope Princeton Road
