Sunset



One more sunset, sliding past the six
One more moment dressed with grace
We know the night comes

It'd be a shame to let it pass
On so little the night we must last
Beg the loveliness to stay
When the colours fade away

If you believe the night will end
If you believe the sun will come
If you can open your eyes and your heart
To the love between
Then the sunset will be yours
She will be yours

We flew in on the same winds
We loved the memories they bring
For a while, it was perfect

But the moments and day did pass
With so little, the nights we must last
Your loveliness did stay
The sunset couldn't burn it away

You said, believe the night will end
Believe the sun will come
For me, open your eyes and your heart
To this love between
The sunset will be yours
The sunset will be ours

Now comes the night
Hold on to the light
The sunset will be ours
The sunset will be ours

One Rainy Night

I walked across an empty street,
Stopped by a street lamp
In the drizzle to breathe


I touched the earth, embraced the air
Felt all the life around me
To the tip of my hair


Oh, simple words
How you have come
Found me in yearning
Then took me into your arms


For a simple fate
Not complex thoughts
Just hold me close and
Give me a reason to live on


I came upon a lonely tree,
Felt the glancing raindrop
Like your generous kiss

I read your words
Those precious gifts
They seem to always make me complete

Oh, simple words
How you have come
Found me in yearning
Then took me into your arms


For a simple fate
Not complex thoughts
Just hold me close and
Give me a reason to live on


If you have a heartbeat
Why don’t we just go
To a place where only we know
To share and learn about the reasons

Why no one else shows
Yet no one else knows
In a place where only we know
