Sundowning by Aqualung

I found the missing
Puzzle piece but
I don't know, I don't know where to begin
Do I have what
What you need to
Put it all back together again

The breath is in my mouth
To blow this fire out
These shadows slowly climbing up the walls
Maybe we are sundowning
Maybe we're just sundowning

We torched another
Golden morning
You only get, only get back what you can give
Oh, perhaps we need a little time
Little time to remember how to live, oh

With the rising of the moon
The dying of the afternoon
The evening takes us with it as it falls.

The breath is in my mouth
To blow this fire out
These shadows slowly climbing up the walls
Maybe we are sundowning
Maybe we're just sundowning
Maybe we are sundowning
Not waving and not drowning
Just sundowning

As daylight drifts away
And everything starts to fade
And all our colors turn to black and white

The heart don't make a sound
Feet don't you touch the ground
Could this be just a tricking of the light

The breath is in my mouth
To blow this fire out
But maybe I could wait another night

Cause maybe we're just sundowning.
Baby we are sundowning
Darling we are sundowning
Not waving and not drowning
Just sundowning
Just sundowning
