The Sun Goes Down
Trolls Cottage Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sittin' there talkin' we were deep in conversation
Staring at the stars and both of us were thinking
Then you said
"Everybody wants to achieve
And believe that life has much deeper meaning"
I told you about the friend of mine that changed with the season
Always seemed to give up when there wasn't a reason
Then you said
"Everybody wants some love
But not many want to take the risk that's involved"

And it'll be alright
When the sun goes down throw your arms around me
Together we can weather any stormy night
And it'll be alright
When the sun goes down throw your arms around me
Together we can weather any stormy night

Woke up in the morning just to see you still sleeping
But your eyes were wide open staring right back at me
And then you said
"Baby I don't ever want this feeling to leave from us
You know I believe in us."
I don't want to worry about the steps that we've taken
Only want to worry about new choices we're making
Then you said
"Takes a bit more of a man to lend out a helping hand."
Help me to understand

It'll be alright
When the sun goes down throw your arms around me
Together we can weather any stormy night
It'll be alright
When the sun goes down throw your arms around me
Together we can weather any stormy night

There'll be fair days
And rough seas up ahead
There'll be good times
And times we'll hang our heads
There'll be darkness
And times we'll seek the light
There'll be forgiveness for fighting and friendships surviving
We'll hold on so tightly

Cause it'll be alright
When the sun goes down throw your arms around me
Together we can weather any stormy night
Cause it'll be alright
When the sun goes down throw your arms around me
Together we can weather any stormy night
When the sun goes down throw your arms around me




When the sun goes down throw your arms around me
When the sun goes down throw your arms around me
