Paraguayan Sunset - Kevin Johnson

On the strength of early judgement

She was labelled in my mind

As the kind of girl I would easily forget

A man who’s always moving couldn’t really be expected

To remember every girl he’s ever met

There were many new directions and so many roads to go

And it really looked so easy to forget

With a mind upon tomorrow and a care for nothing more

I rode off into the Paraguayan sunset

In the course of early findings of a young man on the road

Every girl would be a reason I should stay

But romantic young illusions slowed me down along the road

So they faded with the passing of each day

There were many new tomorrows and so many ways to go

And I thought it would be easy to forget

But on wings of early morning and a hundred nights before

I’ve come to know the meaning of regret

On the wings of early morning

And the first plane out of here

With nothing but a suitcase and a prayer

Just the distant destination coming closer all the time

And a hope to God I find she’ll still be there

There were many new beginnings and I gave them all a go

But it wasn’t quite so easy to forget

On the wings of early morning and a hundred nights before

I’ve come to know the meaning of regret
