A Thousand Setting Suns Lyrics

You left just like the summer

Slowly then all at once

Tell me why'd it take you six months?

To say 'I'm sorry I did you wrong'

And the past it is a funny thing

It keeps fools like us hanging on

Take this silence, take this distance

It's too quiet, it's been too long

But does she make you happy?

That's all I want you to be

Does she make you feel like a child again?

Does she make you feel free?

Does she feel closer than family?

Does she sleep inside your bones?

And does time stretch to infinity

When the two of you are alone?

One day I looked beside me

You were already long gone

All that's left is what's inside me

These fading memories and some songs

And the future it is a funny thing

It keeps fools like us moving on

Take this silence, take this distance

It's too quiet, it's been too long

But does she make you happy?

That's all I want to know

Does she make you feel like a child again?

As though nothing's impossible?

Are you overcome with love for her

When she simply says your name?

And can you tell what she's thinking of

Just by looking at her face?

I hope she makes you happy

That's all I wanted to say

I hope she makes you feel like a child again

I hope she fills your oceans with waves

I hope she ignites your nights with poetry

I hope she lights up your days with songs

I hope she paints you with all the colours

Of a thousand setting suns

I hope she paints you with all the colours

Of a thousand setting suns

You left just like the summer

Slowly then all at once
