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 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.
