The Setting Sun

The mighty sun has now set for me,
Now only darkness is all I see.
The mighty sun that brightens my way
Its light finally faded away.

Now my life is like a moonless night,
And everything just doesn’t go right.
Now I lost all the treasure in me
The darkness has taken it away.

Oh I tried to fight mister darkness,
But just can't seem to hit his weakness.
No matter how hard I fight and try,
I just failed ‘til I break down and cry.

So I’ll just wait for the sun to shine,
No matter how long I’ll stay in line.
And if by chance I could see the sun,
I'd never forget the setting sun.
