When shadows fall
And trees whisper day's ending
My thoughts are ever wending home
When crickets call
My heart is forever yearning
Once more to 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
Evening marks the close of day
Skies of blue begin to gray
Crimson hues are fading in the west
Evening 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
Once more to be returning home
Loving arms are waiting there for me
Precious lips to kiss so tenderly
Night covers all
And though misfortune may befall me
Sweet dreams will ever call me
They'll be calling, calling, calling me home
