Evening Lyrics - The Browns

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...
