Sinking Like a Sunset by Annette Ducharme Lyrics

I'm thinking about
The prince and Cinderella
And the outlaws, 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
Because in real life it's not like that at all

Oh won't you please just hold me now
'cause there's some things I'd like to forget
And my heart is sinking like a sunset

Tales of Don Juan feel very poetic
But on the streets out here
The true verse of life is written

You know it's really a shame
When you've got to let go of the things you love
Like a fighter, he really bleeds when he must
Hang up his gloves
No I am not a rock, I can feel it now
But for a moment I'd like to forget
Just hold me now
I'm sinking like a sunset
I'm sinking like a sunset

Everybody has a story
Some are tragic, some find glory
But it feels more real when you're lying here
Next to me

You can walk too far
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 is broken down
He's gone senile
He shouts "Kill the bastards in the night!"
'cause he's all out of time

Oh won't you please
Make love to me now
Because it helps me to forget
That my heart is
Sinking like a sunset
Won't you hold me now
And make things alright
'cause when I'm with you
The sun comes out at night
Making me forget
I'm sinking like a sunset

I'm sinking like a sunset
