Chilling Of The Evening Lyrics - Alice's Restaurant - Arlo Guthrie

Warm me from the wind and take my hand 

A song is sounding, softly singing 

My song is cast upon the rainbow waves 

Forever splashing in the sunlight 

Prove to me there's a love still left 

In all of this emptiness all around me 

Yes take me from the chilling of the evening 

Though you know my love that I must go 

A following the winds that blow inside me 

I've nowhere left to run or hide 

Except if you will come and run beside me 

And even if you do there'll be a lot 

For us to do to keep believing 

Yes take me from the chilling of the evening 

And now my time has come down many streets 

I'm coming from a night decaying 

The song that itself sings stands all alone 

I cannot even hear it playing 

Now to leave before I understand 

Just what it is I know I'm leaving 

Take me from the chilling of the evening 

Of the evening
