[Verse 1]

She talks to birds for a cardinal answer

She wakes up way before the dew

What's a Scorpio without a Cancer?

What's a sunset without you?

[Verse 2]

Maybe you don't know when to stop

Maybe you want us to be through

Maybe the temperature just dropped

What's a sunset without you?

[Chorus]

What's a sunset without you?

What's a sunset without you?

[Verse 3]

I've never been this old before

I don't know what I'm supposed to do

But stay in bed all day and lock the door

What's a sunset without you?

[Verse 4]

My heart beats slow as Mazzy Star

Sometimes it skips a beat or two

Your stories end miles from where they start

What's a sunset without you?

[Chorus]

What's a sunset without you?

What's a sunset without you?

What's Odysseus to do?

What's a sunset without you?

[Verse 5]

There is a lighthouse in San Pedro

A bloody rainbow over Big Blue

Sometimes you go for the devil you do know

What's a sunset without you?

[Verse 6]

Hypnosis won't cure me

Nor will a potion, a witches' brew

You know this, but humor me

What's a sunset without you?

[Chorus]

What's a sunset without you?

What's a sunset without you?

What's Odysseus to do?

What's a sunset without you?

[Verse 7]

Odysseus, he paid his dues

He paid his driver a good tip too

Took off his shirt, took off his shoes

And wrapped his arms

Wrapped his arms around you
