The Moody Blues — Evening: The Sun Set/Twilight Time
Evening:
[Part I: "The Sun Set" (0:00 - 3:14)]
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
When the sun goes down, and the clouds all frown
Night has begun for the sunset
See it with your eyes, Earth's re-energized
By the sun's rays everyday
Take a look out there, planets everywhere
[Verse 2]
When the sun goes down, and the clouds all frown
Night has begun for the sunset
Shadows on the ground, never make a sound
Fading away in the sunset
Night has now become day for everyone
[Bridge]
I can see it all, from this great height
I can feel the sun, slipping out of sight
And the world still goes on, through the night
[Instrumental Bridge - Orchestra]
[Part II: "Twilight Time" (3:15 - 6:38)]
[Verse 3]
Twilight time, to dream awhile
Unveils a deepening blue
As fantasy strides, over colourful skies
The form disappearing from view
[Hook]
In twilight time, dream with me awhile
[Verse 4]
A nightingale plays a dark mellow phrase
Of notes that are rich and so true
An aerial display by the firefly brigade
Dancing to tunes no one knew
[Hook]
In twilight time, dream with me awhile
In twilight time, dream with me awhile
[Bridge]
Building castles in the air
Whistling to the wind
As nature bows down her head
See what tomorrow brings
[Ad-libbing]
[Hook]
In twilight time, dream with me awhile
[Verse 5]
Bats take to wing like puppets on string
Prancing through cool evening air
In a sightless glide, no reason to hide
From the ray of the sun's blinding stare
[Hook]
In twilight time, dream with me awhile
In twilight time, dream with me awhile
