Lyrics
The sun is sinking away from me
The speaker observes the sun setting, moving away from them.
And it leaves me in a silent way
As the sun sets, it leaves the speaker feeling isolated and in a quiet, contemplative state.
With it it takes all remains of the day
The departure of the sun takes away what's left of the daytime.
And I feel like you'll be gone
The speaker anticipates the departure or absence of someone, feeling like they'll be gone.
Loneliness fell from the moon tonight
Loneliness is personified as falling from the moon, creating a desolate atmosphere.
Beneath a vacant blanket of sky
The sky appears empty, devoid of stars, contributing to a feeling of vacancy.
And shined its lonely beams as if crying
The moon emits a solitary light, almost as if expressing sorrow.
And I feel like you'll be gone
The speaker reiterates the anticipation of someone's departure, intensifying their feelings of loss.
And I feel like you'll be gone
-The sky is a thief with no sympathy
The sky is likened to a thief, taking without remorse or understanding.
And it rips the life from my eyes
The sky metaphorically takes away the vibrancy of life from the speaker.
The air is still, oh, no stars
The atmosphere is still and lacks the usual presence of stars.
And I feel like you'll be gone
Continued sense of impending loss or absence of someone significant.
And I feel like you'll be gone
-The sun is sinking away from me
Repetition of the sun's departure, leaving the speaker in a state of quietude.
And it leaves me in a silent wave
The sun's movement creates a wave-like effect, emphasizing its departure.
It takes all remains, remains of the day
It takes away all that's left of the day, intensifying the feeling of impending absence.
And I feel like you'll be gone
Repeated expression of the impending departure of someone important.
And I feel like you'll be gone
-And I feel like you'll be gone
-And I feel like you'll be gone
-Oh, don't leave me, baby
Plea not to leave, a desperate appeal for the person not to depart.
Don't leave me, baby
-Ooh, don't leave me, baby
-Don't leave me, baby
-Don't let the sun, don't let the sun
Urgent request not to let the sun set, symbolically asking to prevent the impending departure.
Don't let the sun go sinking
-Oh, you'll be gone
Reiteration of the belief that the person will be gone, emphasizing the imminent departure.
