She's all I ever wanted
She could make me alive
I don't think she's dead or anything, but I still feel haunted
Something in the way she said goodbye
This time
The night before
It could be me but it seemed like I needn't return
That's right little johnny gets to go and fight his war
And as he rides off in the sunset he feels the last ray's burn
And shine
The setting sun, though we ain't done
The setting sun, though we ain't done
The only one that makes me run
The setting sun, though we ain't done
What the hell did she mean
When she turned away and said "don't you ever forget me"
And why the sad routine
The tear in her eye, and my big reply
When I said you'd never let me
Oh no, not she
I found a letter
I found it in a pocket that she must have slipped it in
It basically told me to forget her
Now I ain't no genius, but I think I could begin
To see
The setting sun, though we ain't done
The setting sun, though we ain't done
The only one that makes me run
The setting sun, though we ain't done
With the sun obscured from view
And none but the night left to keep me warm
Is it me my darling, there's nothing left to do
But surrender to the coming storm
Where I am born...
With nothing to lose, and freedom to gain
I rode west at nightfall through freezing rain
Relying on luck, and the wit of my brain
Visions of plunder and endless campaign
Numb the pain
There is comfort in the sun
And the earth is good and soft
Now my sail catch the wind send my chariot aloft
I am rounding all the parapets
As another city burns
Harvest all creation for it's ominous return
And then well before dawn
In cover we've gone
Moving on to the next after killing my prey
Growing steadily easier each one I'd slay
By blood and by battle, making my way
Onto the breach and into the fray
When I play...
There is comfort in the sun
And the earth is good and soft
Now my sail catch the wind send my chariot aloft
I am rounding all the parapets
As another city burns
Harvest all creation for it's ominous return
And then well before dawn
In cover we've gone
Come hell, come high water, come into me
Storm bring your flood waters, turn desert to sea
Destroy all my obstacles, whatever they be
Extinguish all light and fell every tree
Set me free!
Said a low branch touching the water
Feels the current's take
Said a mighty river bends her
But oh
