I was happy until the sun went down The afternoon was warm the shadow turned around A silver plate a drop of wine a clock without a hand I sit right here and watch the room collapse into the sand You always said I had a lovely smile I haven't changed it once in quite a while The city sleeps the record spins around I was happy until the sun went down Happy until the sun went down I wear your memory like a heavy frozen crown Fifty years of waiting for a step upon the floor I keep the porch light burning though there isn't any door I’m still smiling Look at me I’m smiling You left a umbrella by the wall Or maybe it was someone else I don't recall The decades taste like dust but I still pour two cups of tea One for the ghost of you and one for what is left of me I told you I’d be fine a clever little lie I forgot the way to weep so I just watch the sky Happy until the sun went down I wear your memory like a heavy frozen crown Fifty years of waiting for a step upon the floor I keep the porch light burning though there isn't any door "Come back" I never said "Stay here" I thought instead The daylight is a performer painting yellow on the street Then the evening arrives and the comedy’s complete How sweet of you to vanish How rude of you to stay Inside my head forever every single day I was happy until the sun went down I was happy until the sun went down Look at this smile isn't it perfection? Just a mirror looking at a dead reflection The daylight lied to me again
