Sunset Hymn Lyrics

Emily Smith MCPS/PRS

Spider's hanging in his web
Waiting for the dawn
As if to show my path
The streetlight flickers on
And while inside the candle flame burns bright
I stand content warmed by the summer night
End of July, the stars shine up above
And I see inside a room filled with love

A mother's call drifts across the field
Her firstborn gone leaves a wound for time to heal
No wind today, no rain
I hope tomorrow might bring the same
And while inside the candle flame burns bright
I stand content warmed by the summer night
End of July, the stars shine up above
And I see inside a room filled with love

While in that room you sit and wait for me
If you looked out I wonder what you'd see
I stepped outside to breathe the evening in
A shepherd's sky ignites the sunset hymn
My senses reel as I fall into the sound
I try to move but my feet stick to the ground

And while inside the candle flame burns bright
I stand content warmed by the summer night
End of July, the stars shine up above
And I see inside a room filled with love
And I see inside a room filled with love
And I see inside a room filled with love
