When the sun goes down, down on your street
Oh, let me be the one you meet
In the lamplight haunt when the night has just begun
Though you fear where shadows fall
There's nothing there to harm you at all
Uncover your eyes, presume uncertain skies
And rise, arise and step into the night
It'll be all right
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
Because under a moon that hangs from silver strings
We know not what this darkness brings
The stars all gleam with possibility
And rise, arise and step into the night
It'll be all right
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 and step into the night
So rise, arise and step into the night
So rise, arise and step into the night
It'll be all right
