Only tonight will I be less than far away
Only tonight while it's still light enough to stay
Cos things all burn out and fade away

Losing time and you're losing patience with me
Forget the sun, it's going down slowly
And she'll burn out and fade away

A hundred times I sought you out
But I'm the one who didn't try enough
This is the second after last time I will talk to you again
Cos it's all burnt out and now it fades away, it fades away

Only tonight will I be less than far away
Only tonight while it's still light enough to stay
Cos it's all burnt out and now it fades away, it fades away
