Story Behind The Song
I came up with the title and lyrics to the song as I walked to Ed Fox's apartment one evening in Manhattan in 1969. He sat down at the piano and wrote the music. We recorded it two years later for our LP, Twice Upon A Rhyme, and liked the recording so much we put a sunset on the album cover.

Lyrics
We wander a wet and windy shore
Washed by the morning hour
Looking for last night's flower
On the floor
We drank of the dark red wine before
Now that it's turned to water
We hope that the day is short
And knock on evening's door
(chorus)
Looking for sunsets in the early morning
Always longing for more
Looking for sunsets when world is dawning
And love is hiding from the roar
The morning rolls out its awning like a store
Baby, we won't go shopping
We'll search 'till the sundials stop
And love begins to pour
(chorus)
