I went down to the storefront, baby
To pick up a pair of shoes
So I could run back home to you
If you give me a dollar, honey
I'll give it back to you
You don't owe me nothing at all
But the sun goes down
The sun goes down
The sun goes down across the land
I fell into the river, baby
And now my clothes are soaked
All your loving keeps me dry
Can't forget all my past lives, darling
But I can promise you
All my love's in the hand I hold
But the sun goes down
The sun goes down
The sun goes down across the land
Can I see you tonight In the fading light?
When a heart is pure, when a heart is bright?
Can we stop the fight in this cold, dark night?
Cause I just wanna hold you in the fading light
Took the last train to Philadelphia
Just to find my love
It just seemed like a good place to start
Even if we both part ways
I'll keep the fire strong
Everybody's got a song to sing
But the sun goes down
The sun goes down
The sun goes down across the land
Can I see you tonight In the fading light?
When a heart is pure, when a heart is bright?
Can we stop the fight in this cold, dark night?
Cause I just wanna hold you in the fading light
I just wanna hold you in the fading light
I just wanna hold you in the fading light
