Into The Setting Sun

from If Ever Comes The Day by Mike Haggith

/

lyrics

I need to call,
Because I think there’s been some mistake;
‘Cause I’m too idealistic,
And I think this heart’s gonna break.
And in a world of creation,
I’m finding increasing despair.
I extend salutations to ghosts,
Seeking not to repair.

I used to want this,
But I’ve got no fight anymore.
And almost unconscious,
I find myself here at your door.
And if we lived in a hotel,
I don’t think we’d go near the bed.
And if the world was an oyster, then
You’d be the pearl, in my head.

Dreams are misleading,
With happiness fleeting,
It’s over.
Desire is lost,
As it piles its cost
On your shoulders.
And you take in the face
What you thought you’d erase
When you’re older.
And confusion sets,
As ashes tend to smoulder.

I had a dream that we talked
And we planned our escape.
We’d chosen a method;
I saw the design taking shape.
And as the sun fell below the horizon,
I started to sail.
‘Cross the sea that an honest man dies in,
My heart shall prevail.

Dreams are misleading,
With happiness fleeting,
It’s over.
Desire is lost,
As it piles its cost
On your shoulders.
And you take in the face
What you thought you’d erase
When you’re older.
And confusion sets,
As ashes tend to smoulder.
And confusion sets,
As ashes tend to smoulder.
And confusion sets,
As ashes tend to smoulder.
And confusion sets,
As ashes tend to smoulder.

I need to call,
Because I think there’s been some mistake.
