The Moody Blues: Evening

(Evening: Time to Get Away)

Evening has come to pass,
The time of day doesn't last.
Evening, has earned its place today,
I'm tired of working away.

Working, living it brings,
Only way to have those things.
Toiling has bought too many tears,
Turn 'round all those past years.

Evening time to get away.
Evening time to get away.
Evening time to get away.
'Til next day.

Live all you people,
You can't see where you're at,
It doesn't really hurt you,
So that can't be bad.
(repeat)

Evening time to get away.
Evening time to get away.

(Evening: The Sun Set)

When the sun goes down, and the clouds all frown,
Night has begun for the sunset.
See it with your eyes, Earth's re-energized
By the sun's rays everyday.
Take a look out there, planets everywhere.

When the sun goes down, and the clouds all frown,
Night has begun for the sunset.
Shadows on the ground, never make a sound,
Fading away in the sunset.
Night has now become day for everyone.

I can see it all, from this great height,
I can feel the sun, slipping out of sight.
And the world still goes on through the night.

(Evening: Twilight Time)

Twilight time to dream awhile,
In veils of deepening blue.
As fantasy strides, over colourful skies,
Of form disappearing from view.

In twilight time, dream with me awhile.

A nightingale plays a dark mellow phrase,
Of notes that are rich and so true.
An aerial display by the firefly brigade,
Dancing to tunes no one knew.

In twilight time, dream with me awhile.
In twilight time, dream with me awhile.

Building castles in the air,
Whistling to the wind.
As nature bows down her head,
See what tomorrow brings.

In twilight time, dream with me awhile.

Bats take to wing like puppets on string,
Prancing through cool evening air.
In a sightless glide, no reason to hide
Away from the sun's blinding stare.

In twilight time, dream with me awhile.
In twilight time, dream with me awhile.
