The Browns - Evening lyrics

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...
