That's Where You Are - (An Ode to a Dead Artist)

The sun sets, on another life
The dawn breaks, bringing new light
Sometimes the night feels so long
Sometimes the night doesn't bring the day at all
Why did it happen to you?

There were so many things that we both needed to do
So many words to be turned into tunes
So many people to film in our minds
So many stories to be left behind

You knew the world, but it didn't know yours
Every night to a thunderous applause
No answers to questions, no answers to why
But I know you found your corner of the sky
That's where you are
That's where you are

You lived a simple and nomadic life
Feeling the dangers and the cold floors at night

BRIDGE:
It doesn't sound real and it doesn't sound fair
it doesn't sound right but God knows we've been there

CHORUS:
No warmth of the candle, no light from the street
No cigarette burning, no whiskey that's neat
No calling of taxis, no laughs that we stole
No breeze through window, a song without soul, tonight

And as the world fades from in front of our eyes
I see a figure I can still recognise
I hear your voice and it comes from afar
and I know that you are singing among the stars
That's where you are

CHORUS (x2)
