Browns Evening
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...
