"Setting Sun" lyrics

"Setting Sun"

The cast was made
To reset broken bones
But there's no such thing
To fix a love gone wrong
Keep knocking the door
'Cause I know someone's there
I wait on the porch
Hoping someday, I'll be let in
They say in the end
Everything will be okay
If it's not okay
Well then, it ain't the end

Had dreams to you I would belong
Had the dream you would stay with me 'til kingdom come
Turns out forever has come and gone
Am I the only one hanging on?

Hand in hand
Yeah, we took it on
You answered my prayers
Now from my knees, I can't get up
Lost patience with time, yeah
Hurry up your patience tonight
I'd like some of yours
In trade, can take all of mine

I dreamt to you I would belong
Held the dream you would stay with me 'til kingdom come
Turns out it was more like hit-and-run
Am I the only one hanging on?
Whoa, am I the only one hanging on?

If you could see what I see now
You'd find a way to stay somehow
Oh, if you could see, yeah, what I see now
You'd make your way to stay somehow
May your days be long 'til kingdom come
May our days be long before kingdom come
May our days be long until kingdom come

We can become one last setting sun
Am I the only one hanging on?
We could become one last setting sun
Or be the sun at the break of dawn

Let us not fade
Let us not fade
