Eventide in The Carpenters

Lying under barren skies
The light escaping
From my eyes
Below the moon
Walking down the avenue
I' 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
