End Of The Day Lyrics - Time Passages - Al Stewart

And in the evening when the day goes down 

She leaves the bright house lights 

Stands and watches with her coat pulled around 

At torches light the western skies 

Sometimes she thinks she knows him just too well 

Other times not much at all 

They live their lives in some familiar spell 

And catch each other when they fall 

Nothing lasts, well she knows, try to hang on 

When it's gone, you'll be burned 

Fashions and friends come and go 

Everyone travels that road in their turn 

She wants to run out where the day meets the night 

Far beyond these midwest farms 

But she'll be with him till the day she finds 

A stranger lying in her arms
