When The Sun Goes Down - Benjamin Gibbard

When the sun goes down, down on your street

Oh, let me be the one you meet

In the lamplight hung when the night has just begun

And though you fear where shadows fall

There’s nothing there to harm you at all

Uncover your eyes, presume uncertain skies

And rise, arise

Step into the night, it’ll be alright

When the sun goes down, down on your street

And you’re feeling strangely incomplete

Oh, please don’t grieve for days that fell like leaves

Under a moon that hangs from silver strings

We know not what this darkness brings

The stars all gleam with possibilities

And rise, arise

Step into the night, it’ll be alright

When the sun goes down, down on your street

Oh, let me be the one you meet

For I’ve waited years for you to return to me

So rise, arise

Step into the night

Yes rise, arise

And step into the night

Rise, arise

And step into the night, it’ll be alright
