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
[ piano ]
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...
