Lyrics
The sky is painted so and low,
A quiet glow before it goes.
We stand like statues, lost in me,
Wai ng for the stars to climb.
And in the silence, hearts collide,
A ray of light we cannot hide.
Everyone stands alone tonight,
Caught in the reach of fading light.
Pierced by the sun, but it won't stay,
Early evening takes it away.
The earth beneath us still and cold,
A story told, but left untold.
We feel the warmth, but know it's brief,
A ?ee ng joy beneath the grief.
And in the quiet, time lets go,
A gentle pull we always know.
Everyone stands alone tonight,
Caught in the reach of fading light.
Pierced by the sun, but it won't stay,
Early evening takes it away.
We chase the light, we chase the day,
But in the end, it slips away.
The heart holds on to every beat,
But evening falls, bi ersweet.
We chase the light, we chase the day,
But in the end, it slips away.
The heart holds on to every beat,
But evening falls, bittersweet.
Everyone stands alone tonight,
Caught in the reach of fading light.
Pierced by the sun, but it won't stay,
Early evening takes it away.
