Our hometown's in the dark I won't let them win, go quietly Where we're from A shadow tilts its head at me Spirits in the dark are waiting Be the one, be the one I know, I know There's no sun We're no one

The sun goes down He takes the day, but I'm grown And in your way He walks away My tears dry on their own In this blue shade So we are history Your shadow covers me The sky above ablaze

We gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashin' Well, far between sundown's finish and midnight's broken toll We ducked inside the doorway, thunder crashin' As majestic bells of boats struck shadows in the sun Sayin', it may be the chimes of freedom

The sun goes down He takes the day, but I'm grown And in your way He walks away My tears dry on their own In this blue shade So we are history Your shadow covers me The sky above ablaze

And the sun will set for you And the shadow of the day Will embrace the world in gray Sometimes goodbye's the only way, oh The sun will set for you I close both locks below the window I close both blinds and turn away Sometimes solutions aren't so simple

Don't take your love to town You've painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hair Ruby are you contemplating going out somewhere The shadow on the wall tells me the sun is going down It wasn't me that started this whole crazy Asian war But

Come on, come on, wind and rain I know the sun will shine again Till then my lady and my Lord will keep me sane Up above my shoulder the ragged rooftops rise Casting shadows over streets they seem to despise I went down to the dead lake shore to see what

When the clouds kiss your eye Shadows stain on the high-rise Raise your thumb to the sky All good things come with time When you know then you'll know We've been through hell. Sewn up our eyes Found fuel in meds. Viewed through the narrow Encouraged fear

Like freedom fields where wild horses run When stars collide like you and I No shadows block the sun And all I ever needed was the one Oh, baby you're the one You're all I've ever needed Oh, you're all I've ever needed I saw you dancing out the ocean

The sun goes down He takes the day, but I'm grown And in your way He walks away My tears dry on their own In this blue shade So we are history Your shadow covers me The sky above ablaze
