Eventide

Carpenters

Eventide

Lying under barren skies

The light escaping

From my eyes

Below the moon

Walking down the avenue

I'm followed by

The afterglow

The velvet rose of evening grows

Weary to be home again

Among the faces

Of my friends

The day is done

Candles burning by the sea

Are waiting for me

Patiently

I wish the same

For you
