Chasing the Sun - Kabayan

It's a really old city Stuck between the dead and the living So I thought to myself, sitting on a graveyard shelf As the echo of heartbeats, from the ground below my feet Filled a cemetery in the center of Queens I started running the maze of The names and the dates, some older than others The skyscrapers, little tombstone brothers With Manhattan behind her, three million stunning reminders Built a cemetery in the center of Queens You said, remember that life is Not meant to be wasted We can always be chasing the sun So fill up your lungs and just run But always be chasing the sun So how do you do it With just words and just music, capture the feeling That my earth is somebody's ceiling Can I deliver in sound, the weight of the ground Of a cemetery in the center of Queens There's a history through her Sent to us as a gift from the future, to show us the proof More than that, it's to dare us to move And to open our eyes and to learn from the sky From a cemetery in the center of Queens You said, remember that life is Not meant to be wasted We can always be chasing the sun So fill up your lungs and just run But always be chasing the sun All we can do is try And live like we're still alive It's a really old city Stuck between the dead and the living So I thought to myself, sitting on a graveyard shelf And the gift of my heartbeat sounds like a symphony Played by a cemetery in the center of Queens You said, remember that life is Not meant to be wasted We can always be chasing the sun So fill up your lungs and just run But always be chasing the sun All we can do is try And live like we're still alive All we can do is try And live like we're still alive

We try to stay young, by chasing the sun. You blink for too long, the swan sing a song. And all that I've lost, and all that I've won, Don't mean nothing more when you open your eyes and they're gone. After all we've been told, we're still flesh and bone. And life's worth much more than silver and gold. And all that I've lost, and all that I've won, Don't mean nothing more when you open your eyes and they're gone. And how could it be that we'll never see The first day of spring and the last autumn leaves? So lost in my mind, I try to stay strong. If wounds heal in time tell me why it's so hard to move on Hard to move ooooon I'll never move ooooon. I curse the mistakes that we'll never make The pictures of trips that we'll never take. And all of these thoughts, they keep me awake. Hang on to your heroes before it's too late. 'Cause there'll come a time when you open your eyes and they're gone. Some day they're gone, Some day they'll be gone. And I'll still be here chasing the sun

The sky is her blue eyes Begin to open The storm is upon me But I'm chasin the sun And she's got me down on my knees Tryin' to crawl Through all of the winter Through all of the fall and yea yaa She's like a sweet summer A sweet summer day And I can't let her I can't let her go to waste She's like a sweet summer day I want to breathe in her air I want to crash through the waves Into her fields where These memories are made, yea yaa She's like a sweet summer A sweet summer day And I can't let her I can't let her go to waste She's like a sweet summer day Ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh Now there's no turnin' back Lost somewhere deep inside of you The clouds have been lifted And you're breakin' through, ohh She's like a sweet summer A sweet summer day, aye aye aye Now I can't let her I can't let her go to waste (No no no) She's like a sweet summer, sweet summer day, aye aye aye I cannot let her I cannot let her go to waste She's like a sweet summer day (Ooo ooo) She's like a sweet summer day (Ooo ooo) She's like a sweet summer day (Ooo ooo) She's like a sweet summer day (Ooo ooo) She's like a sweet summer day (Ooo ooo) (Ohh)
