Sophia (Unplugged)

5 o' clock and a fire escape symphony,
Spilling out across the road and the square
And the sky's the same as your own, do you think of me?
Do the parks, and trees, and the leaves, reach you, there?
After the rain, in the lonely hours he haunts me, calling out
Again and again.

Sophia, sophia, i'm burning, i'm burning
It's a fire, it's a fire, i cannot put out
Sophia, sophia, i'm learning that some things
I can't go without and one of of them is him.

And now i walk these streets like a stranger in my home town
Learn the language, form the words when i speak
But he changed me, i'm his ghost since he came around
And now i count the hours and the days in the weeks.

Passion and silence
Every word, every line, a measure
It's the science of the soul
And his books, they breathe a reason and now i want to know...

Sophia, sophia, i'm burning, i'm burning
It's a fire, it's a fire, i cannot put out
Sophia, sophia, i'm learning that some things
I can't go without and one of of them is him.

You, with your new born eyes
Have you ever loved a man like i love him?
Do you hurt but still feel alive, like never before?
Oh, sophia, sophia.

Sophia, sophia, i'm burning, i'm burning
It's a fire, it's a fire, i cannot put out
Sophia, sophia, i'm learning that some things
I can't go without and one of of them is him.
