When the Sun Goes Down

Oh, when the sun goes down
Oh, when the sun goes down
Oh, when the sun goes down

Uh-oh, here she comes
Hot shoes and China sun
Every boy's like a loaded gun
Watchin' her go by
Oil tankers goin' out to sea
They're all workin' for the company
Oh baby, I better be with you

Uh-oh, see your thigh
Hot shoes, a China sky
See it now, before you die
She's everything she seems
She's the queen of the waterfront
I pay back her mother and her son
What else can a poor boy do, but dream
(Poor boy do)

This crazy idleness
Working through on a tiny desk
Only hanging on 'til the sun goes down
Loneliness, oh, loneliness
What she sees, I'll never guess
And nothing ever shows 'til the sun goes down
Not until the sun goes

(Oh, when the sun goes down) when the sun goes down
(Oh, when the sun goes down) when the sun goes down
(Oh, when the sun goes down) oh

Uh-oh, around the bay
Taxed lunches, close of day
Young lovers take a holiday
Leaving me behind
Shine on, harbour light
Lead me on through the lonely night
Oh, baby, I don't mind when the sun goes down
Oh, not until the sun goes

(Oh, when the sun goes down) until the sun goes down
(Oh, when the sun goes down) not 'til the sun goes down
(Oh, when the sun goes down) oh, when the sun goes down
(Oh, when the sun goes down) the sun goes down
(Oh, when the sun goes down) until the sun goes down
(Oh, when the sun goes down) until the sun goes down
(Oh, when the sun goes down) until the sun goes down
(Oh, when the sun goes down) not until the sun goes down
