5 o'clock and a fire escape symphony
|
Spilling out across the road and the square.
|
And the sky's the same as your own, do you think of me?
|
Do the parks, and trees, and the leaves reach you, there?
|
After the rain, in the lonely hours he haunts me, calling out.
|
Again, and again.
|
|
Sophia, sophia, I'm burning, I'm burning
|
It's a fire, a fire I cannot put out.
|
Sophia, sophia, I'm learning that some things I can't go without and one
|
of them is him
|
|
now I walk these streets like a stranger in my home town.
|
Learn the language, form the words when I speak
|
But he changed me, I'm his ghost since he came around
|
now I count the hours and the days and the weeks.
|
|
Passion and silence.
|
Every word. Every line. A Measure. It's the science of the soul.
|
And his books, they breathe a reason and now I, I wanna know...
|
|
Sophia, sophia, I'm burning, I'm burning
|
It's a fire, a fire I cannot put out.
|
Sophia, sophia, I'm learning that some things I can't go without and one of them is him, and you, with your new born eyes, have you ever loved a man like I love him?
|
Do you hurt but still feel alive, like never before?
|
Oh, sophia. Sophia.
|
|
Sophia, sophia, I'm burning, I'm burning
|
It's a fire, a fire I cannot put out.
|
Sophia, sophia, I'm learning that some things I can't go without.
|
I can't go without him.
