Lyrics

[Verse 1]

If you want your freedom

There is nothing planned

If you really need him

I will understand

[Verse 2]

Please believe in love

I believe there is a God above

For love

And He's coming, yes, He's coming

[Verse 3]

If you want to fly

Then fly away

All the cloudy skies

Belong to yesterday

[Verse 4]

Please believe in love

I believe there is a God above

For love

And He's coming, yes, He's coming

[Verse 5]

In the shadow, the swallow dies

No one knows the hobo hides

There is no need to apologize

This is the story of a downtown sundown

[Verse 6]

If you climb the mountain

Then you will see

There is no great distance

Between the Lord and me

[Verse 7]

Please believe in love

I believe there is a God above

For love

And He's coming, yes, He's coming

[Verse 8]

And in the shadow, a swallow dies

No one knows the hobo hides

There is no need to apologize

This is the story of a downtown sundown
