Another Nerina Pallot Song.
I'm hoping to put the video to this song in my profile.
Whenever Gaia lets me do that...
Either this one, or Everybody's Gone To War.
I haven't decided yet.

Sophia, by Nerina Pallot
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 them is him
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
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 them is him
and 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
