Tanita Tikaram: Sunsets arrived

Your sunDoesn't make it easy for meWay I breathed beforeNow I don't breathe - no more freelyAnd I likeTo catch the shoulder where you cryMy business -A message in the skyIf it's a long time comingJust carry, carry somebody else's blameIf it's a long time comingLet us start the speech againMy clown -Hooked the rose between his teethStole into the nightTo my laugh was quiet reliefAnd your spice - let me roll it through my tongueWhen I'm caught and olderI'll still be caught beneath this sunAnd everybody was hereThey was telling their own sad storiesI'm sorry I'm not so clearAnd time will take you asideYou better cover your eyes - or you'll cry'Cos I know sunset'sI know sunset'sI know sunset's arrivedYour light -Let the shadows take it downThere's no sense in the beginning -With the cover on your frownAnd my light -Makes the shade, a shade too blackAnd though I choose thisYou still choose to have me back -And everybody was hereThey was telling their own sad storiesI'm sorry I'm not so clearAnd time will take you asideYou better cover your eyes - or you'll cry'Cos I know sunset'sI know sunset'sI know sunset's arrivedWhile you were out yonderChecking out the sceneMaybe you'll lose your thunderMaybe you'll lose your dreamAnd my heatIs only striking hot for you'Cos I'm not shaking easyI'm just acting from your oneAnd "Hey Boss!"You couldn't make it on your ownSure I've stamped you easyAnd I'll lead you back to homeAnd everybody was hereThey was telling their own sad storiesI'm sorry I'm not so clearAnd time will take you asideYou better cover your eyes - or you'll cry'Cos I know sunset'sI know sunset'sI know sunset's arrived
