I can't bear the thought Of ever going back My head was full of nails My heart was broke and black I never understood That glimmering you chased I found it useless So I turned and walked away Where were you when the sun went down? Where were you when that sense of loss left town? I don't care if you're worried now It's too late The wind blew through the square Last night like haunted souls Flags were snapping hard And rattling their poles I drove down Third Street And it felt like I was gone The ghosts of things we said Were smoking on the lawn Where were you when the sun went down? Where were you when all that hope left town? I don't care if you want me now It's too late It's too late And so It goes Watch it go Watch it go And you Won't know Until You know I hold no grudge no more Though I did for a couple of years The hate you harbour Only welcomes what you fear I wrote this song While the sun fell behind the hill The stars look cold But there's a warm light on the sill Where were you when the sun went down? Where were you when that sense of loss left town? I don't care if you want me now It's too late It's too late
