The Ones Who Help To Set The Sun

Watching my window I was led like a child

As the roadway lamplights

Misguided my mind through the night

A shadow of limits

We were racing the rain

My hands held the wheel

My eyes tried to hold their place



There must have been a time

When I thought that you were watching

It had to be when my senses lost control

I thought I'd slipped away

I thought I could still feel us moving

It must have been a cloud

No bigger than a man's hand



Every reason I risk my life

To come back to you

Is locked behind your door

You're my immunity

Outside I watched you burn

Heavy hearts were bleeding

A cry for help, a familiar voice

My melting hands streaked the glass



As I walked away

I wondered what had really happened

Had I run out of time

Did I push myself too far

As my last step fell

I felt my hands upon the wheel

Had I come back to life

Or did I ever leave at all



In higher lives we seem to be

Always a moment too late

We're past the time

When we looked on

Now we're

The one who help to set the sun



This time for real

I locked the door behind me

My mind was still a wreck from what I saw

For when my hands are still

I'll recognize the message

Never again will my senses lose control



In higher lives we seem to be

Always a moment too late

We're past the time

When we looked on

Now we're

The one who help to set the sun
