When the Sun Goes Down

Songtext

[Verse 1] The sun goes down behind the cedar ridge Gold on the fields, then gone from the edge You take my hand by the old stone gate We leave before the dark can decide our fate [Pre-Chorus] Every bell in the valley rings Something wakes beneath our feet Hold on close, don't say a word There are kingdoms under dirt [Chorus] When the sun goes down, run with me Past the river, through the blackwood trees If the night wants blood, let it call my name I will cross that fire, I will take the blame When the sun goes down, stay by my side Keep your promise where the lost roads divide No crown, no gold, no castle wall Can take you from me when the daylight falls [Verse 2] A silver fox watches from the wheat Three pale stones mark the path we need Your mother’s ring catches one last flame And the distant mountain answers when you say my name [Pre-Chorus] Every bell in the valley rings Cold wind cuts through broken wings Hold on close, don't lose your nerve We are more than what we were [Chorus] When the sun goes down, run with me Past the river, through the blackwood trees If the night wants blood, let it call my name I will cross that fire, I will take the blame When the sun goes down, stay by my side Keep your promise where the lost roads divide No crown, no gold, no castle wall Can take you from me when the daylight falls [Bridge] Let the dark send wolves across the plain Let the towers throw their iron rain I have one truth, and it leads to you Through every door the moonlight cuts through [Final Chorus] When the sun goes down, run with me Past the river, through the blackwood trees If the night wants blood, let it call my name I will cross that fire, I will take the blame When the sun goes down, stay by my side Keep your promise where the lost roads divide No crown, no gold, no castle wall Can take you from me when the daylight falls [Outro] The sun goes down, but we remain Two sparks alive beyond the rain
