carry on

carry on

For Fernando Pomales

and in the setting of the sun
we see our lives undone
and there's nothing we can say
and there's nothing we can do
to stop the sun from going down
to stop the world from crashing to the ground

and still we must
carry on

and in a distant cast off dream
we shrive ourselves of our golden mean
and there's nothing to make it stay
and there's nothing to make it through
can't stop the sun from going down
can't stop the world from crashing to the ground

hopeless fate we feel
has left us with no give and take
only to take away our hopes and dreams

and still we
carry on

caught in a dark perspective night after night
warmth becomes a distant fleeting glimpse
thinking to put the past behind you
don't forget to turn towards the morning light

and
carry on
