Story behind the song
In early January, I came up with the
title phrase. And then a song starting
erupting around that phrase.
Lyrics
Sun Don't Set (in the Middle of the Sky)
Music and lyrics by Paul Iorio
Copyright 2012
Lonny owned a clipper ship
That had a driftwood face
You know he was a patriot
For whatever nation paid
If he had allegiance, boys
He never said who to
He'd always take his paycheck
From whoever gave him loot
[If he had allegiance, boys, at all]
I say
The sun sets in the west
You say
The sun sets in the east
But I won't compromise
The sun don't set in the middle of the sky
Sun don't set in the middle of the sky
Sun don't set in the middle of the sky
I won't compromise
Sun don't set in the middle of the sky
We went to the Canaries
Where only locals sail
He had a scene with a girl in Madeira
I guess he was trying to guess her weight
Headed to the Antilles where
There was gold along the glade
But don't go by Jackson island
It's run by a new a family and they're crazy
[A new family runs it and they're crazy, I'm tellin' ya!]
I say
The sun sets in the west
You say
The sun sets in the east
But I won't compromise
The sun don't set in the middle of the sky
Lonny knows the shortcuts
There's one even he won't try
(I said) "Why not take the coastal route"
(He said) "That route is classifed"
They told me not to sail so north
It's a diplomatic swamp
I said, "That's international waters/
I can go there if I want"
[I'll go there if I damn want]
I say
The sun sets in the west
You say
The sun sets in the east
But I won't compromise
The sun don't set in the middle of the sky
Sun don't set in the middle of the sky
Sun don't set in the middle of the sky
I won't compromise
Sun don't set in the middle of the sky
Sun don't set in the middle of the sky
Sun don't set in the middle of the sky
I won't compromise
Sun don't set in the middle of the sky
