Evening
Darkness come to me

Tower of the cathedral
Cast your shadow over the land
Little dusty streets and houses will be swallowed by the cool of
Evening
Darkness seep through every man

The cinema is dark and empty
The doors are closed right down
The projectionist is drunk somewhere
In a room in the middle of town

Evening
Darkness come to me
No one hears you lonely man
Pace the frozen streets
White washed dummies stare at you
It's

Evening
Darkness calm this lonely man

Somewhere man and woman
Touch each other silently
In a lovers' double bed
But the sheets are black like life that ends at

Evening
Darkness come to me

I can greet you with a smile
Despite the lights of town

For I know that everything must end
And evening
Is the symbol
Of the end of my day
