I've heard it before   I'll let you tell it again   Just to hear the sound of your voice   Over this cold, cold wire      So hold the phone   Where I wish I could get   Hold it right up to your cheek   And that's as close as I'll be      So lie down for the night    And wait for morning light      When all you ever want   Will find its way to you through the morning fog   And all I ever was    Will disappear in the fire of the sun      I've seen it before   I don't need you   I can watch it all unfold if I like    Here in my cold, cold mind      Like it or not   The sun still shines at night   When you're closing your eyes   It's on the other side      So trust the setting sun   And wait for dawn to come      When all you ever want   Will find its way to you through the morning fog   And all I ever was    Will disappear in the fire of the sun      Just like I never was   Just like I never was permanent
