If I ever have a say about this thing you call my life
Let me go to where the sands are always white
And I promise I will call you as soon as I get there
From the airport or the station or the nearest clean hotel
And I'll walk into the sunset for the first time in my life
Heaven knows it's been a long goodbye
And if only for a moment I could gather all I've earned
I'd strike a little match and watch it burn
Yeah, I'll walk into the sunset for the first time in my life
Heaven knows it's been a long goodbye
And if only for a moment I could gather all I've earned
I'd strike a little match and watch it burn
Now some things never change but we both know better than that
This city has a way to throw its nightmares on you back
But I'm not getting any younger and I'm sick of morning trains
They never leave the station, they only swap the names
So I walked into the sunset for the first time in my life
Heaven knows its been a long goodbye
And only for a moment I could gather all I've earned
I'd strike a little match and watch it burn
Yeah, I'd strike a little match and watch it burn
