lyrics

Sun doesn't fight fair,
Always teams up with the earth and the air.
When summer comes around
This time we won't be found,
We're going to where the ozone is thin.

Our old king waves goodnight,
Leaves us with the promise of a new life.
When the stars all sail away, we'll all know what to say,
We'll say, "We've come so far, now there's nowhere left to run."

When I was a man,
Just a shadow
Across the dusty plain.
But I was eclipsed
When the sun and the horizon met.

And you, you are my last great love.
And you, you will outlive us all.
You'll come back home when all the work's been done,
You'll tell great stories about all you've been,
The sunset in your eyes.

And I'll know what you don't say.
And you, you'll know too.
When they all hit the ground when the sun goes down
We can know what we know with no one else around.
But the sun will win again.
(And again, and again, and again...)

When I was a man,
I was stranded on a land-locked shore.
But now I've boarded that ship and I'll never return.

But if the days get shorter and the nights get colder,
The sun stops shining and the rain stops falling,
Then I think we'll meet again.

No, I know someday, we're gonna meet again.
