Setting Sun
Why must you leave
Must you go away
Can we not bask
In another light of day
What are you running from my dear
Can we not stand and fight the
Fear inside
The fear inside
Fight the fear inside
Away
Won’t you stay
As the sun sets
I hold on for the light
You took the stars
I sit alone in the night
Why must this sun always fall down
And leave me broken on the
Hard cold ground
The hard cold ground
This same old broken ground
Tonight
This can’t be right
When you came home
You asked to meet up some night
But I stayed home
I’m so weary from this fight
I tried to love you tried to stay strong
But I’ve been dragged on
Far too long
I can’t hold on
I can no longer be strong
For you
