| I was walking all alone through the hills
|
| Along the westside of the town
|
| And though the sun had almost gone
|
| The day was still alive and friendly warm
|
| The announcement to the night
|
| Was strange kind of red along the sky
|
| The day had almost died
|
| And her parting was a colorful goodbye
|
| And where the lady came from
|
| I can’t remember, she just crossed my way
|
| But I remember she did match
|
| Her eyes were blue her skin was white
|
| And I tried hard to find something to say
|
| I forgot it all, I said
|
| I guess it was all crazy anyway
|
| Summer evening lady
|
| Come let’s lay down on the ground upon the hill
|
| Summer evening lady
|
| Let us look and talk and dream and wait until
|
| Until the night is dark and cold
|
| Summer evening lady, let me please
|
| Let me hold your hand in mine
|
| Summer evening lady, let me please
|
| Let me touch your lips like wine
|
| And let me run my fingers, through your hair of gold
|
| The time we spent together
|
| Can’t be measured by the two hands of a watch
|
| I felt like I was dreaming then
|
| And after all I think I maybe was
|
| ‘Cause when I asked her to come back
|
| She smiled a smile I’ve never seen before
|
| She kissed my cheek and ran away
|
| And I have never seen her anymore
|
| Summer evening lady
|
| Come, let’s lay down on the ground upon the hill
|
| Summer evening lady
|
| Let us look and talk and dream and wait until
|
| Until the night is dark and cold
|
| Summer evening lady let me please
|
| Let me hold your hand in mine
|
| Summer evening lady let me please
|
| Let me touch your lips like wine
|
| Let me run my fingers through your hair of gold |
