Late in the Evening

Come late in the evening

The bartender rings last call

I hear the clock up on the wall

Come late in the evening

Smoke hangs in the air

I reach for your coat upon the chair

But it's not there

Come late in the evening

Drive home in my car

'Neath a sky without a star

And wonder where you are

Along the way there's a small café

That we once called ours, where we spent the hours

Come late in the evening

In bed as shadows fall

I stare at empty walls

And listen for your footsteps to fall

And I sleep 'neath dark and empty skies

I listen to the night whisper alone, alone

In the day I watch through my windowpane

As the cars rush by in the rain

And whisper she's gone, she's gone

How can I go on?

I sleep 'neath dark and empty skies

I listen to the night whisper she's gone, she's gone

And still I carry on

Another dream, another song

Another night when I won't go home

Till late in the evening

Till late in the evening
