When the night comes with the promise of nothing but the dark
And it's more than just a memory pounding inside your heart
And the girl that once lay next to you is now a million miles away
Like a sad song on your radio that girl belongs to yesterday

The boys would all come around to listen to the sounds
We heard the promise in the melody and in the magic that has never let us down
In a room that was so small you could barely swing a cat
We fell in love with a poster on the wall and the sound of a Fender strat
We watched the sun go down on Benwell
Just a stones through from the Tyne
Then we made our way up Colston Street
And went travelling back in time

We've got to look to the future and give credit to the past
Last raise a glass to the memory of those who fell between the cracks
And watch the sun go down on Benwell
Just a stones throw from the Tyne
Then we make our way up Colston Street
And go travelling back in time
Was it more than just a memory
Of something we can't comprehend
Until the sun goes down on Benwell
I'm going to stay right here until the end
I'll stay right here in Benwell
I'll watch the sun go down on Benwell
Make my way along the Pipe Track Lane
The walk down Violet Street again
My heart feels like it might explode
As I walk across the Scottswood Road
To watch the sun go down on Benwell
