Sunset

We watch at sunset At the edge of these canyon walls A bottle of Malbec And a long way to fall My world spins on its axis You point at colors in the sky But I only see them reflected in Amaranth lips and honeyed skin Ochre in celadon eyes And we've got a million miles more But right now, you are all I'm asking for And I know it's too good to be true And when navy turns cerulean you'll be just a friend again And I know when tomorrow arrives When twilight turns into sunrise, no, you won't be mine, no But for now, while the day's not done yet I'll love you at sunset Ultramarine creeps Into our breath, freeing Questions we can't speak Until the starlight seeps in I ask you to be honest but I'm scared of the truth 'I know you've been hurt before, but what would make you Fall in love again?' you say 'I don't know yet' Oh, if only you knew And I know it's too good to be true And at the end of blurry nights, there'll be just sharp lines again And I know when tomorrow arrives And daylight's striking 8 o'clock, no, we won't talk about it But I hope you know I won't forget That I loved you at sunset Walking a tightrope on the horizon This fine line's doing my heart in Too young to be wiser, too old not to know How this ends And as fuchsia sinks into violet We'll trade kisses, sleep in the same bed I'll close my eyes, pretend that this night Won't end 'Cause I know it's too good to be true But you should know that what I feel is as real as it gets And even when tomorrow arrives From lilac dusk to pastel dawn, I will always want, no To love you with every breath And not just at sunset And we've got a million miles more But right now, you are all I'm asking for
