Sol

In a town on the heights
We met in sound
Let the cover of night
Draw us down
Further South
Where I was young and
caught up
In the skies on the way
I see them now

I'm not the same
No you with your little one
Who needs more than love
A mother afraid
I had it so easy
You were the one who fought?
Was I a better man
When you held me up
And gave me back more than time?
Was I a better man with you sol?

Maybe time has the key
To one last door
Where our eyes cannot meet
Without being sure
That the sound had always
Run inside us
From a start out of reach
I see it now

I'm not the same
No you with your little one
Who needs more than love
A mother afraid
I had it so easy
You were the one who fought
Was I a better man when you held me up
And gave me back more than time?
Was I a better man with you sol?

Sun shimmers hide the way
And when the idols are gone
The sun raises others the same
Knowing well
The silent thought has no answer, no
Maybe I was too blind
To recognise
The buried fire
Was lying aglow
If I need no forgiveness
I'm all but forgotten
Lost in the changing of the times
With dust on the table
The quena lies broken
Waiting on one last songline
To let another life
Dream it Sol!
Said I'm sorry that I never wrote
Though I meant to I just
couldn't start
Most of the time I spent alone?
Just trying to make sense of it all

Have you ever been alone?
No you ain't ever been alone
No, not really Sol
No you ain't ever been alone
No, not really sol
