Sophia

Nerina Pallot

5

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 those is him

And now I walk these streets like a stranger in my hometown

Learn the language from 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' the sience 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 those 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.
