| Lying here beside you in the shadows
|
| With your body close to mine
|
| I can’t help but wish that I could have you
|
| Here beside me all the time
|
| Knowing that I cannot keep you
|
| From your going when the day is done
|
| Makes me wish that I was tall enough
|
| To reach the sky and stop the sun.
|
| But I can see the evening shadows
|
| Slipping silent cross the floor
|
| And I curse the day for coming to an end
|
| You’ll fix your face, comb your hair
|
| And leave my arms once more
|
| But when tomorrow comes
|
| We’ll watch the evening shadows fall again.
|
| When we’re here together
|
| I don’t question why you came or why you go
|
| I’m sure you have your reasons
|
| But your being here is all I have to know
|
| Knowing when you come to me There’s nothing I can do to make you stay
|
| Just like all the other times
|
| You’ll leave me at the ending of the day.
|
| But I can see the evening shadows
|
| Slipping silent cross the floor
|
| And I curse the day for coming to an end
|
| You’ll fix your face, comb your hair
|
| And leave my arms once more
|
| But when tomorrow comes
|
| We’ll watch the evening shadows fall again… |
