She's thinking about the Prince and Cinderella The outlaws the hustlers and the heroes They never seem to fall It doesn't matter it doesn't matter what The outcome of the story is Because 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 Sinking like a sunset
Everybody has a story Some are tragic some find glory But it feels more real when you're here Right next to me
You can walk too far out on that ledge And you might lose your mind You know I need you now You're an 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
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 right 'Cause when you're with me here The sun comes out at night Making me forget We're sinking like a sunset
