Sophia

5 o'clock and a fire escape symphony

Spilling out across the road and the square.

And the sky's the same as your own, do you think of me?

Do the parks, and the trees, and the leaves reach you, there?

After the rain, in the lonely hours he haunts me, calling out

Again and again.

Sophia, Sophia, I'm burning, I'm burning

It's a fire, a fire I cannot put out.

Sophia, Sophia, I'm learning that some things I can't go without and one

of them is him.

Now I walk these streets like a stranger in my hometown

Learn the language, form the words when I speak

But he changed me, I'm his ghost since he came around

And now I count the hours and the days in the weeks

Passion and silence

Every word, every line. A Measure. It's the science of the soul.

And his books, they breathe a reason

And now I want to know...

Sophia, Sophia, I'm burning, I'm burning

It's a fire, a fire I cannot put out.

Sophia, Sophia, I'm learning that some things I can't go without and one

of them is him.

You, with your new born eyes, have you ever loved a man like I love him?

Do you hurt but still feel alive, like never before?

Oh, Sophia. Sophia.

Sophia, Sophia, I'm burning, I'm burning

It's a fire, a fire I cannot put out.

Sophia, Sophia, I'm learning that some things I can't go without.

I can't go without him.
