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
