lyrics

The thing about the setting sun
is that it will rise right back up again.
The thing about the cold wind
is that it will fade at winters end.
And everybody, everywhere, will sing a song and say a prayer,
for the ones they love and the ones they don’t,
And oh, there’s the ones that won’t ever got to see, ever get to feel, ever get to share what is real,
They shrink ‘em down to truth and lies,
and scale them right back up to size.

The thing about the color blue
is that it’s all over when it comes to you.
The thing about these memories
is they aren’t fleeting, they simply choose to freeze.
And everybody, everywhere, will sing a song and say a prayer,
for the man who loved and the man who lost,
Everything, but at what cost? He chose to see, he chose feel,
he chose to share what is real,
They shrunk him down to truth and lies,
and scaled him right back up to size.

There is no fall from beauty or from grace,
just stick around and feel at home,
there is no one to take your place.
There is no meaning in the words “I will compare”,
there ain’t much to choose from when there ain’t no one there.
