Evening

Bells ring out across the sky
Darkening shadows pass me by
As I lay down and close my eyes
Evening

Bells ring out across the field
Sleepy eyes to night time yield
It’s then my love for you is concealed
Evening

Evening clouds are floating by
Evening shadows fall on high
Evening sunshine fills the sky
Evening

Moon appears and earth is still
It’s then I’ll miss you most until
Morning comes with birdsongs trill
Evening

Shadows fall, the night turns cold
Feline creatures getting bold
Memories dim as they unfold
Evening
