Lyrics

Verse 1
When the darkness comes to rest
I feel it deep inside my chest
This old man has seen it all
The darkness falls
Things are different than before
I’m wicked lonely getting old
Leaving this whole thing to fate
It’s enough to make me pray
For yesterday

Chorus
And the leaves will bow down
When you walk by with me
Those ships will crash and sink into the sea
Before I let you down my love
Oh how simple life becomes

Verse 2
When the darkness comes on by
I hope it misses by a mile
Our brothers saw the darkness rise
Fought my whole entire life
The darkness falls

Chorus
And the leaves will bow down
When you walk by with me
Those ships will crash and sink into the sea
Before I let you down my love
Oh how simple life becomes

I’ll never let you down, I’ll make you stronger
Lay your head upon my shoulder
Love will never die
Tonight
