The sun is setting down across the road again

A mournful parting friend moving on

Night falls quickly

Silently insisting

That what's gone is done and done has gone all wrong

Gone all wrong

Don't talk about love and chains

And let's not talk about the plans we made

Why don't we just sit and watch the sunlight fade

You and I we pretend

That the world will keep on turning

and that we'll have time to spend

Why do we pretend

Cracked white ceiling staring disbelieving

While you lie asleep a smile on your lips steal a kiss

Soon tomorrow

We'll be having coffee

Just to keep ourselves from fading like the heat

Fades to fall

Don't talk about love and chains

And let's not talk about the plans we made

Why don't we just sit and watch the sunlight fade

You and I we pretend

That the world will keep on turning

and that we'll have time to spend

Why do we pretend

Oh, don't talk about love and chains

And let's not talk about the plans we made

Why don't we just sit and watch the sunlight fade

You and I we pretend

That the world will keep on turning and that we'll have time to spend

Why do we pretend

The sun is setting down across the road again

A mournful parting friend moving on
