Lyrics

THE WIND BEGINS TO STIR
AS THE COLORS SATURATE THE WESTERN SKY
TONIGHT IT’S TURNING COLDER
I CAN FEEL IT COMING AND I CLOSE MY EYES
THE SUN GOES DOWN SO PRETTY
BUT IT LEAVES ME HERE WITH NOTHING MUCH TO DO
BUT THINK ABOUT TOMORROW
JUST ANOTHER DAY THAT I WON’T SPEND WITH YOU

I WALK FAMILIAR STREETS
BUT MY FOOTSTEPS HARDLY SEEM TO MAKE A SOUND
I CAN SEE MY SHADOW
GETTING DARKER AS IT FOLLOWS ME AROUND
SOMEWHERE IN THE DISTANCE
A SIREN SONG THAT LINGERS IN MY EAR
KEPT ME FROM UNDERSTANDING
WHAT I WOULD NEED TO DO TO KEEP YOU HERE

IT FOLLOWS ME AROUND
IT’S WITH ME AS I SPEAK
IT COMES WITH EVERY SOUND
IT’S THERE IN ALL I SEE

FOR PUSHING YOU AWAY
FOR NOT ACCEPTING ALL YOU OFFERED ME
FOR ALL I DID AND SAID
THAT GOT YOU RETHINKING ALL THAT YOU BELIEVED
NO WORDS THAT I CAN OFFER
CAN JUSTIFY MY DIMMING OF THE LIGHT
OR CAUSE YOU TO BELIEVE
THAT I WOULD EVEN WANT TO MAKE IT RIGHT

THE WORLD KEEPS ON TURNING
THAT’S THE SUBJECT OF SO MANY EASY RHYMES
BUT WHAT ELSE CAN BE SAID OF MOMENTS
WRACKED UPON THE RUGGED SHOALS OF TIME?
AS THE DARKNESS SETTLES
I FEEL THE WEIGHT OF ALL I DIDN’T DO
AND CONTEMPLATE THE CLOSING OF
ANOTHER DAY I DIDN’T SPEND WITH YOU
