Sophia

5 o' clock and a fire escape symphony
Spilling out across the road and the square
And the sky's the same. As you're alone, do you think of me?
Do the parks, and trees, and the leaves, reach you, there?
After the rain, in the lonely hour as
He haunts me, calling out
Again and again

Sophia, Sophia, I'm burning, I'm burning
It's a fire, it's 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
And now I walk these streets like a stranger in my home town
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 wanna know
Sophia, Sophia, I'm burning, I'm burning
It's a fire, it's 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, it's 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
