When Evening Shadow Fall Lyrics - Robin Williamson

by Robin Williamson 

When evening shadow fall 

All tongues at last will tire of bustling trade 

The brightest eye at last grows dull 

And the finest flowers fade 

Chorus: 

Life is short o life is sweet 

Sweeter is the love you gave to me 

Sure by cold death we two must parted be 

But life is sweet 

When evening shadows fall 

Gaze long upon the lamps that light the sky 

And sing again that oldest song of all 

Poor mortals born to die
