Rose Red Sunset

All alone I waited for the stars to fall
The earth to swallow me up whole
Left my spirit far behind among your tears
That no false promise could console

In a sea of mud, I drowned my dreams
And cursed the power of their lies
And I walk the barren path of yesterdays
With memories of contented sighs

When all I needed was a rose red sunset 
(All I carried was the look in your eyes)
All I needed was a rose red sunset
(All I carried was the look in your eyes)

When the day is fading like a smothered flame
And night is gently raining down
I will find sweet comfort in my hard-won pain
And wear my failure like a crown

From my throne of ash, I'll make a new decree
And wrestle angels in the air
And upon the barren path of yesterdays
I'll sleep and dream of summers fair

When all I needed was a rose red sunset 
(All I carried was the look in your eyes)
All I needed was a rose red sunset
(All I carried was the look in your eyes)

Is somebody out there?
Is somebody out there?
Is somebody out there?
Is somebody out there?

All alone I waited for the stars to fall
The earth to swallow me up whole
Left my spirit far behind among your tears
That no false promise could console

When all I needed was a rose red sunset

When all I needed was a rose red sunset 
(All I carried was the look in your eyes)
All I needed was a rose red sunset
(All I carried was the look in your eyes)

Is somebody out there?
Is somebody out there?
Is somebody out there?
Is somebody out there?
