Ev'ning brings the close of day
Skies of blue begin to grey
Crimson hues are fading in the West
Ev'ning ever brings to me
Dreams of days that used to be,
Memories of those I love the best.
When shadows fall
And trees whisper day is ending
My thoughts are ever wending home.
When crickets call
My heart is forever yearning
Someday will be returning home.
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.
