Sinking Like A Sunset

Tom Cochrane


She's thinking about the prince and cinderella 
The outlaws the hustlers and the heroes 
They 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 are some things I'd like you to forget 
When you 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 
Sinking like a sunset 
Everybody has a story 
Some are tragic 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 an 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 
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 right 
'Cause when you're with me here 
The sun comes out at night 
Making me forget 
We're sinking like a sunset 
Sinking like a sunset 
Sinking like a sunset
