Sunset's Arrived

Tanita Tikaram

Your sun

Doesn't make it easy for me

Way I breathed before

Now I don't breathe - no more freely

And I like

To catch the shoulder where you cry

My business -

A message in the sky

If it's a long time coming

Just carry, carry somebody else's blame

If it's a long time coming

Let us start the speech again

My clown -

Hooked the rose between his teeth

Stole into the night

To my laugh was quiet relief

And your spice - let me roll it through my tongue

When I'm caught and older

I'll still be caught beneath this sun



And everybody was here

They was telling their own sad stories

I'm sorry I'm not so clear

And time will take you aside

You better cover your eyes - or you'll cry

'Cos I know sunset's

I know sunset's

I know sunset's arrived



Your light -

Let the shadows take it down

There's no sense in the beginning -

With the cover on your frown

And my light -

Makes the shade, a shade too black

And though I choose this

You still choose to have me back -



And everybody was here

They was telling their own sad stories

I'm sorry I'm not so clear

And time will take you aside

You better cover your eyes - or you'll cry

'Cos I know sunset's

I know sunset's

I know sunset's arrived



While you were out yonder

Checking out the scene

Maybe you'll lose your thunder

Maybe you'll lose your dream



And my heat

Is only striking hot for you

'Cos I'm not shaking easy

I'm just acting from your one

And "Hey Boss!"

You couldn't make it on your own

Sure I've stamped you easy

And I'll lead you back to home



And everybody was here

They was telling their own sad stories

I'm sorry I'm not so clear

And time will take you aside

You better cover your eyes - or you'll cry

'Cos I know sunset's
