lyrics: J. Morse © 1984 I - Setting Sun I see the light burning low for you As you lie there not quite alive How can I say what's on my mind? Won't you open up your eyes? Let me know you're still there Why'd you have to go before your time? Oh, you are a Setting Sun You were the innocent one Floating past the horizon. . . Setting Sun You're a victim, you're innocent You've never done anything to hurt anyone But now you're just lying there Fading away like the Setting Sun You suffer, the accident Why would he take your life this way? No one could save you now And I hurt more than anyone I bear the guilt Even though I know it isn't mine to bear Played to the hilt The blade of shame is there - it isn't fair Cut me through the heart It's so difficult to part from you. . . from you Oh, you are a Setting Sun You were the innocent one Floating past the horizon. . . Setting Sun I see the light burning low for you As you lie there not quite alive How can I say what's on my mind? Won't you open up your eyes? Let me know you're still there Why'd you have to go before your time? Oh, you are a Setting Sun You were the innocent one Floating past the horizon. . . Setting Sun Oh, you are a Setting Sun You were the innocent one Floating past the horizon. . . Setting Sun II - Nightfall Has anyone ever felt as empty as I do? There's no one left in my life but me and you I never thought it could end so suddenly The world would end today if it were up to me Because the final night has fallen - fallen down on me There's only one thing that could happen to ever set me free I need someone to hold onto - someone to hold on me Through Nightfall. . . It's a starless night tonight, no moon there to shine Everyone has lost their fight - when do I lose mine? Should auld acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind? I look at things that happen today, no moral there to find Memories never go away, especially when they're mine Should auld acquaintance be forgot for Auld Lang Syne? But at last the night has fallen - fallen down on me I'm not so sure that anything could ever set me free Is there anyone left to love? Someone to hold on me Through Nightfall. . . It's a starless night tonight, the moon, still, with no shine May not see its coming day - but will I see mine? III - Rising Sun I see the fire burning in your eyes As you stand there, tears on your cheek How can I say what's on my mind? Tears could never douse the flame in your heart As you're thinking, "Why only us? Are we just two of a kind?" Oh, you're the Rising Sun You are the vengeful one Raging over the city. . . Rising Sun You're not gonna let it get you Down and out, you'll stand and fight Can you lift me off the ground? You may be the only one who's right You won't let fate control your life You'll never let the world come down around you Can you sweep me up out of the dirt? Make me realize. Make me see the light 'Cause I bear the guilt Even though it isn't mine to bear Plunged to the hilt The blade of pain is there - it's still not fair Cut me through the heart But please don't part from me. |
