Vārdi: Nerina Pallot. Fires. Sophia.

Five 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, a fire I cannot put out
Sophia, Sophia, I'm learning that some things
I can't go without and one of them is him

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
Now I count the hours and the days and 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 wanna know

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

And 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, a fire I cannot put out
Sophia, Sophia, I'm learning that some things
I can't go without, I can't go without him
