“Wasted Sunset” is Barny’s tribute to his mother. Using the symbolism of the sunset to express the end of something beautiful, but also a love that still lingers despite the passage of time.
Barny Fletcher provides more context in a featured article:
It’s the most personal song considering all the...
[Verse 1]
Don’t know why I still try calling
When I know you’re not there
See mama I just fell in love
A girl with pretty blue eyes and long hair
And the sky was pink and gold
But that sky left
A wasted sunset
We weren’t done yet
It’s not fair
[Verse 2}
I remember gazing at the stars
I said, “Imagine falling in”
Well I guess you did
Through galaxies and constellations
Now I see her swim
Ohh-oh
(Oh) But I may never know
Your love again
A wasted sunset
We weren’t done yet
It’s not fair
[Verse 3]
But I’m never alone
I can feel your grace
I can feel your light (Oh)
And it may be a while ‘til I see your face
But I’ma be alright (Ye-yeah)
‘Cause I may never know
Your love again
A wasted sunset
You ain’t done yet
You’re still there
[Outro]
Oh, oh, ohh-oh
I feel the wind through my hair
I feel the sun on my face
You’re out there somewhere I swear
A wasted sunset I chase
I feel the wind through my hair
I feel the sun on my face
You’re out there somewhere I swear
A wasted sunset that I chase
Ohh, ohh
La-la-la
(Oh) A wasted sunset that I chase
I feel the wind through my hair
I feel the sun on my face
You’re out there somewhere I swear
A wasted sunset that I chase
And I will never know your love again
