Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Evening marks the close of day
Skies of blue, begin to grey
Crimson hues, are fading in the West
[Verse 2]
Evening ever brings to me
Dreams of days that used to be
Memories of those I love the best
[Verse 3]
When shadows fall and trees whisper
"Day is ending"
My thoughts are ever wending home
When crickets call, my heart is forever yearning
Once more to be returning home
[Verse 4]
When the hills conceal the setting sun
Stars begin a-peeping, one by one
Night covers all and though fortune may forsake me
Sweet dreams will ever take me home
Take me home, babe
[Verse 5]
When the hills conceal the setting sun
Stars begin a-peeping, one by one
Night covers all and though fortune may forsake me
Sweet dreams will ever take me home
