Sophia - Laura Nyro

Five o’clock in the fire escape symphony

Spilling out across the road on the squire

And the skies that sing when you wrote «you think of me»

To parks and leafs reach you there

After the rain in the lonely hours

He haunts me, crueling out, again and again

Sophia, Sophia

I’m burning, I’m burning

It’s a fire, a fire I cannot put out

It’s a fire, it’s a fire I’m burning that’s something I cannot go without

And one of them is him

Now I’m walking the streets like a stranger in my hometown

Do the language forms the words when I speak

But he changed me out this ghosts since he came around

Now I count the hours and the days in the weeks

Passion and silence

Every word and every line, a measure

It’s the science of the soul

And it’s words debreath the reason

And now I wanna know

Sophia, Sophia

I’m burning, I’m burning

It’s a fire, a fire I cannot put out

It’s a fire, it’s a fire I’m burning that’s something I cannot go without

And one of them is him

And you with your new born eyes

Have you ever loved men

Like I loved him

Does your heart 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

It’s a fire, it’s a fire I’m burning that’s something I cannot go without

And one of them is him

I can’t go without him…
