I dreamt she died
The hills glowed red for her
Clinging to the sun
It seemed so real and bright
We gathered up on littered streets
Held arm in arm
Clinging to the light
But in her arms I woke
She conjured up the world
With the words that she spoke
Someone summon up the night
And tear down the sun
From this sober sight
Because I can't reach for you now
I can't change the fate
You took it in your own hands
But in the woods you broke
You silenced every word
Of love that we'd spoken
I can't find the words to make it alright
I can't see the sense, I cannot reconcile
The man that I knew with the thoughts that you had
Given up tonight
We gather up in the summer heat
So awkward and so smart
Right now it's hard to feel proud
You left your mark in the summer sky
The long journey home
Always at arms length
And with the words you'd spoken
You'd conjured up the world
With the words that you spoke
I can't find the words to make it alright
I can't see the sense, I cannot reconcile
The man that I knew with the thoughts that you had
Given up tonight
