A Thousand Setting Suns

You left just like the summer Slowly then all at once Tell me why'd it take you six months? To say 'I'm sorry I did you wrong' And the past it is a funny thing It keeps fools like us hanging on Take this silence, take this distance It's too quiet, it's been too long But does she make you happy? That's all I want you to be Does she make you feel like a child again? Does she make you feel free? Does she feel closer than family? Does she sleep inside your bones? And does time stretch to infinity When the two of you are alone? One day I looked beside me You were already long gone All that's left is what's inside me These fading memories and some songs And the future it is a funny thing It keeps fools like us moving on Take this silence, take this distance It's too quiet, it's been too long But does she make you happy? That's all I want to know Does she make you feel like a child again? As though nothing's impossible? Are you overcome with love for her When she simply says your name? And can you tell what she's thinking of Just by looking at her face? I hope she makes you happy That's all I wanted to say I hope she makes you feel like a child again I hope she fills your oceans with waves I hope she ignites your nights with poetry I hope she lights up your days with songs I hope she paints you with all the colours Of a thousand setting suns I hope she paints you with all the colours Of a thousand setting suns You left just like the summer Slowly then all at once
