Song Description

Contemplative conversation with oneself in the middle of the night as if talking to former lover; on the edge of losing one's grip on reality

Lyrics

With the clock striking 9 I let go of myself,
Drinking cocktails and wine till a quarter to 12,
And now here it is 2 and the world is at rest
And I?m burnin? for you like a spirit possessed
When the sun goes down

Glowin? moon, like a jewel, through the window it pours,
Lights the face of a fool on an obstacle course.
With a strange confidence and a memory of you
Takin? leave of my senses is all that I do
When the sun goes down.

Intoxicating conversation, oh the jokes we share,
When I tell you what I did today
It?s almost like you?re there.

In a few little hours when the night becomes day
I will head for the showers and I?ll wash you away,
But there is no conclusion to all of the pain
So I live the delusion and love you again.

Reverbertaing conversation, oh the laughs we share,
When you tell me what you did today
It?s almost like you?re there.

And I ponder the stars as they silhouette you.
Does our egocentricity alter the view?
In the dark of this madness the thought is profound
That it isn?t the sun, but it?s us going down,
When the sun goes down, goes down.
