Since we stood beside the water
Recalling a shared moment by the water, possibly a symbol of tranquility or reflection.
The sun goin' down
Describing the sunset as peaceful and slow.
Was burnin' peaceful and slow
Reflecting on a calm and serene atmosphere during the sunset.
And the shadows of evening
Noting the encroaching darkness as evening approaches.
Were creepin' around us
Describing the shadows gathering around them.
It's been a long time
