After the Setting Sun
After the Setting Sun
She is going to leave me in the evening
after the setting sun
when the world turns once over
in front of everyone
My heart will fall under
the moon's lasting gaze
where I stare forever
for the end of this day
She is waiting for the train
that I hope never comes
for my spirit has faltered
and I am unable to run
Beneath heaven's stars
she is leaving without a farewell kiss
as my love for her
will be forever missed
