IN THE QUIET OF THE EVENING SHADES
I THINK OF YOU IN SCARLETS BLAZE
AND WONDER SHOULD I
OR SHOULD I DRIFT AWAY IN THE HAZE
THE LONLINESS OF OLD YESTERDAYS
SEEM TO HAUNT ME IN GLOOMY DAYS
I A WAIT YOUR WORDS TO FALL UPON
MY EARS IN SWEET SURRENDER
FOR THE DAY TO COME
WHEN YOU NO LONGER WISH TO
WANDER IN SOLACE ALONE
KNOWING THAT I HAVE
SURRENDERED TO YOU
ALL THAT I AM AND DO
MY LOVE WHAT MORE CAN I SAY
YOU HAVE BEEN MY ALL
EVER SINCE THAT FATEFUL DAY
I THEN KNEW FOR YOU I'D FALL
TIME IS SO SWIFT IN IT'S PASSING
AT TIMES YET IT STANDS STILL
WHEN SHADOWS DRIFT AND I
LISTEN FOR THE WHIPPOORWILL
HE SEEMS TO MOCK ME
FROM HIS HIGHEST HILL
SO I ASK YOU ONCE MORE
TO TAKE MY HAND IN LOVE
BEFORE I DRIFT AWAY
IN THE HAZE OF YORE
AND FOR THIS I FEAR
WE BOTH
SHALL PAY THE PRICE TOO DEAR
YOU THERE ALONE AND ME HERE
THE MILES IN BETWEEN
LIFE AND LOVE NOT MEANT
TO LIVE IN LONLINESS SCENE
NOR UPON A RECURRING DREAM
