A man and a woman were sitting together but truly alone
The sunset was sparking, burning the roofs, and the summer was gone
She wondered what he was trying to run away from
Never expecting tomorrow to come
But he knew the secret staring at houses painted in red
Thousands of people still do not guess they're already dead
He saw in his dream those flashing dispiteous rays
Destroying the city in couple of days
He had to recollect all his remaining courage and nerve
To keep back the truth for that was not what she really deserved
He was agonizing, he was unable to take
The fact that tomorrow she won't be awake
The question's unanswered, evening covered the motionless street
For the first time in his life autumn was so undesired to greet
He returned as he promised to love her till her last breath
The man who was damned to miss his own death
