Tom Cochrane - Sinking Like a Sunset Lyrics

She's thinking about the prince and Cinderella
The outlaws and the hustlers and the heroes
That never seem to fall
It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter
What the outcome of the story is
'Cause in real life, I try to tell her
It's not like that at all
Oh, won't you please just hold out now
'Cause there are some things I'd like you to forget
When your world is sinking like a sunset

Tales of Don Juan, they're very poetic babe
But out on the streets, out there
The true verse of life is written
You know it's really a shame
When you've got to let go
Of all the things you love
Like a fighter, he really bleeds
When he must hang up his gloves

No, I am not a rock
And I can feel it now
But for a moment
I'd like to forget
That my heart is
Sinking like a sunset
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Sinking like a sunset
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Sinking like a sunset
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Oh, everybody has a story
Some are tragic and some find glory
But it feels more real when you're here
Right next to me
Na, na, na, na, na, na

You can walk too far out on that ledge
And you might lose your mind
You know I need you now
You're the angel that keeps me in line
The old sergeant has broken down
He's grown senile
He shouts, "kill the bastards," in the night
'Cause he's all out of time

Well, don't hold out, let's make love right now
'Cause there's some things I'd like to forget
When our hearts are sinkin' like a sunset
Won't you hold me now
And make things alright
'Cause when you're with me here
The sun comes out at night
Making me forget
We're sinking like a sunset

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Sinking like a sunset
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Sinking like a sunset
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Sinking like a sunset
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Sinking like a sunset
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na (oh)
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na (oh)
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na (oh)
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Sinking like a sunset
