When the darkness now has descended,
I walk silently across the room.
And the feelings are wearing on me,
What will the future bring?
And the heritage we've handed you
Could be heavy to carry along
Will you ask us, will you blame us?
Will you call it a betrayal?
The sun that went down tonight
She will shine for you my dear
And the birds that are free, will show the way, and everything will be
Lots of light and lots of warmth
Faith and hope can you also take along
Many tears, heavy moments; I'm afraid there will be
When the sun's driving the night away
You crawl up close beside me
And tucked away are all the heavy thoughts
Those I had yesterday
In life and laughter, you ask me
'bout the rain and about the sun
And the answers that I give you, ain't the ones I had yesterday
And the sun that went down tonight
She will shine for you my dear
And the birds that are free, will show the way, and everything will be
Lots of light and lots of warmth
Faith and hope can you also take along
Many tears, heavy moments; I'm afraid there will be
And the sun that went down tonight
She will shine for you my dear
And the birds that are free, will show the way, and everything will be
Lots of light and lots of warmth
Faith and hope can you also take along
Many tears, heavy moments; I'm afraid there will be
The sun that went down tonight
She will shine for you my dear
And the birds that are free, will show the way, and everything will be
Lots of light and lots of warmth
Faith and hope can you also take along
Many tears, heavy moments; I'm afraid there will be
