Eventide
J. Bettis / Richard Carpenter
Lying under barren skies
The light escaping from my eyes
Below the moon
Walking down the avenue
I'm followed by the afterglow
The velvet rose of evening grows
Weary to be home again
Among the faces of my friends
The day is done
Candles burning by the sea
Are waiting for me patiently
I wish the same
For you
