Tom Cochrane - Sinking Like A Sunset lyrics

She's thinking about the prince and Cinderella And the outlaws, and the hustlers, and the heroes That never seem to fall It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter what The outcome of the story is Because in real life I try to tell her It's not like that at all Oh, won't you please just hold out now 'Cause there's some things I'd like you to forget When your world is sinking like a sunset Tales of Don Juan, they're very poetic, babe But out on the streets out there The true verse of life is written You know it's really a shame When you've got to let go of all the things you love Like a fighter he really bleeds When he must hang up his gloves No I am not a rock and I can feel it now But for a moment, I'd like to forget That my heart is sinking like a sunset No no no no no no no no Sinking like a sunset No no no no no no no no Sinking like a sunset No no no no no no no no Everybody has a story Some are tragic and some find glory But it feels more real when you're here Right next to me You can walk too far out on that ledge And you might lose your mind You know I need you now You're the angel that keeps me in line The old sergeant has broken down He's grown senile He shouts, "k** the ba*tards!" in the night 'Cause he's all out of time So don't hold out, let's make love right now 'Cause there's some things I'd like to forget When our hearts are sinkin' like a sunset Won't you hold me now and make things alright 'Cause when you're with me here The sun comes out at night, making me forget We're sinking like a sunset No no no no no no no no Sinking like a sunset No no no no no no no no Sinking like a sunset No no no no no no no no Sinking like a sunset No no no no no no no no Sinking like a sunset No no no no no no no no No no no no no no no no No no no no no no no no No no no no no no no no Sinking like a sunset
