The Moody Blues — The Afternoon: Forever Afternoon Tuesday?/Evening Time to Get Away
Part I: Forever Afternoon (Tuesday?)
[Instrumental Intro]
[Chorus]
Tuesday afternoon
I'm just beginning to see, now I'm on my way
It doesn't matter to me, chasing the clouds away
Something, calls to me
The trees are drawing me near, I've got to find out why
Those gentle voices I hear, explain it all with a sigh
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Verse 1]
I'm looking at myself reflections of my mind
It's just the kind of day to leave myself behind
So gently swaying through the fairyland of love
If you'll just come with me you'll see the beauty of
Tuesday afternoon, Tuesday afternoon
[Chorus]
Tuesday, afternoon
I'm just beginning to see, now I'm on my way
It doesn't matter to me, chasing the clouds away
Something, calls to me
The trees are drawing me near, I've got to find out why
Those gentle voices I hear, explain it all with a sigh
[Instrumental Bridge]
Part II: (Evening) Time To Get Away
[Verse 2]
Evening has come to pass
The time of day doesn't last
Evening, has earned its place today
I'm tired of working away
[Verse 3]
Working, living, it brings
Only way to have those things
Toiling has born too many tears,
Turn 'round all those past years
[Hook]
Evening time to get away
Evening time to get away
Evening time to get away
'Til next day
[Verse 4]
Live all you people, you can see where you're at
It doesn't really hurt you, so it can't be bad
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Verse 4]
Live all you people, you can't see where you're at
It doesn't really hurt you, so it can't be bad
[Outro]
Evening time to get away
Evening time to get away
