| And then it was over and we took our applause.
|
| We passed the peace pipe and thought no more about the scenes
|
| That were missing, about the lines we had crossed.
|
| And we smiled at each other and we knew that the moment was lost.
|
| I let you snuff out the candles, I let you blow out the flame,
|
| And I knew that this time it would never be the same.
|
| The smiles you had wavered, tears welled in your eyes
|
| And I looked and I knew that this magic it was only a sign
|
| For Sunsets on Empire it was only a dream.
|
| I knew that it was broken when I heard you scream
|
| I know you can’t believe it. |
| It meant nothing at all.
|
| And we looked at each other and we smiled and the moment was gone.
|
| Sunsets on Empire is this really the end
|
| Sunsets on Empire left with a friend
|
| Could have been a lover, could have been a wife
|
| But when it comes right down to it all I want is a life,
|
| Just a life.
|
| You said it never mattered. |
| You said it’s just a thrill.
|
| You couldn’t beat it. |
| Another bitter pill.
|
| It never was a habit. |
| A one off just for sure.
|
| You never really thought it out but I hoped that one time
|
| That you’d come back for more.
|
| Sunsets on Empire that’s where I am Sunsets on Empire that’s all we have.
|
| To face a new beginning when you’re so close to the end
|
| And you looked at me gently and smiled,
|
| Would you still be my friend?
|
| You started to smile
|
| Is this really the end?
|
| Is this really the end?
|
| Sunsets on Empire
|
| The sun sets on Empire |
