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 the 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 those 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, a fire I cannot put out.
Sophia, Sophia, I'm learning that some things I can't go without and one
of those 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, 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.
