Sinking Like A Sunset - Tom Cochrane

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, «kill the bastards!»

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
