Lyrics

Verse 1:
We say so many things that we just don?t mean
And take for granted standard feelings unseen
We stumble swiftly on the path to our parting but we
Don?t speak
No apologies

Chorus 1:
SLOW DOWN THE SUN
Hold back the rain
Give back my love
Take back the pain
Give me the stars
Without the falling of the sky
SLOW DOWN THE SUN, SLOW DOWN THE SUN

Verse 2:
Night after night we lie here hiding the truth
And take for granted that there?s nothing to prove
We hide in anger and we never begin to remove
The covers
How can we recover?

Chorus 2:
SLOW DOWN THE SUN
Hold back the rain
Give back my love
Take back the pain
Give me the stars
Without the falling of the sky
SLOW DOWN THE SUN
Take back the day
Give me your love
Say we can change
Give me the moon
And all that glitters in the night
SLOW DOWN THE SUN

Bridge:
Fading moments chasing day
Bleeding sunrise returns to day
You promised me forever
Don't just let it fade away
Don?t walk away
Don?t walk away

Repeat Chorus 2
