Sunset
sky and sand Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The sun sets on the mountain
It burns as red as coal
The sun will explode
In a ball of aetherian gold
The wind is sharp with ice
I'll never be here again
I'll never see it again
So of course I got to look twice
Flamingo sky is fading
Soon it turns to black
Buckle in my boots and hit the hills
Like I'm under attack

Here it comes
There goes the sun
A flowers birth
All around the Earth
Something real
Something warm that you can feel
Soars like a dove
And it spreads its love
Something real
Something warm that you can feel
Soars like a dove (Something real)
As it shows it's love (Something warm that you can feel)
Soars like a dove (Something real)
As it shows it's love (Something warm that you can feel)
Soars like a dove (Something real)
As it shows it's love (Something warm that you can feel)
Soars like a dove (Something real)
As it shows it's love (Something warm that you can feel)
Soars like a dove (Something real)
As it shows it's love (Something warm that you can feel)
Something real

Pink reflection on the waves
Waist deep as the tide comes in
Dragged across the reef all day
In my bed I could still feel the ocean
Only two more hours 'till my rentals up and
I know I got to get back to shore
But I just wanna look at it a little more
Purple hue on the horizon
And then that yellow sliver's gone

Here it comes
There goes the sun
A flowers birth
All around the Earth
Something real
Something warm that you can feel
Soars like a dove
And it spreads its love
Something real
Something warm that you can feel
Something real
Something warm that you can feel
Soars like a dove
As it shows it's love
Soars like a dove
As it shows it's love




As it shows it's love
As it shows it's love
