Setting Sun Songtext

von Lord Huron

I've been waiting for you to come,
Staring out at the setting sun.
You've been running around again,
With that boy you call your friend.

And it's driving me insane.
Does he make you say his name?
And you can't get it off your tongue.
Little girl, you are not so young.

Does it hurt when you lie to me?
If you'd asked, I'd set you free.
But the time to forgive is gone,
The day has passed, the night has come.

Ain't you worried what I'll do?
And that boy should worry, too.
Can you face me for what you've done?
Little girl, you're not so young.

Oh, is he ready to die for you, baby?
Naw, but you know I was.
I was was fondly living,
But I would have given it all for the girl I love.

Oh, is he ready to die for you, baby?
Now that the deed is done.
I'm just waiting for night,
And the fading light of the setting sun.

Tell me when did I lose your love?
Was it him you were thinking of,
All those nights when you made me swoon,
Making love beneath the moon?

Were you dreaming of his touch?
When you couldn't get enough.
Was there truth in the songs you sung?
Little girl, you're not so young.

Well, I could never betray your love,
You had me, heart and soul.
You might never have known it, girl,
But I was all yours.
I know I'll never reclaim your love,
But that's just how it goes.
I ain't the person I was this morning when the sun rose.

Well, I could never betray your love,
You had me, heart and soul.
You might never have known it, girl,
But I was all yours.
I know I'll never reclaim your love,
But that's just how it goes.
I ain't the person I was this morning when the sun rose.

I know I'll never replace your love and that's as hard as it gets.
So I'll be taking a life this evening when the sun sets.
