I watch the sun going down

While I stand on sacred ground

Where once the night found us

In the twilight of our love



You said you'd meet me here

And I'm all alone

You sounded so sincere

Did you lead me on



CHORUS:



I told the starry sky to wait for you

I told the wind to sigh like lovers do

I even told the night you were true

And you would be here soon

And now I'm lying to the moon



And so the night takes me in

Like a sympathetic friend

And sends the wind through the trees

So the willow weeps for me



The shadows fool my eyes

And I think I see you

Then they start to cry

Don't you know they believed you



REPEAT CHORUS
