As evening draws what does it bring for me,
fleeting shadows cast upon the wall,
as light leaves the day its time to be,
watching those moonbeams of light call,

Do you draw the curtains to hide the dark,
or leave and look at the shadows within you,
your thoughts become bleak and stark,
remembering those times when love was true,

The hours of night seem very long,
no shadows existed then when you were here,
the time when I thought love was strong,
losing you brought about this atmosphere,

Lamplight flickers on the wall,
shadows stem from all the dark,
darkness covers but its starlights call,
like a tree my sap is gone just left is my bark,

The lingering shadows on my heart,
daybreak will come to light my way,
taking with it my gloomy part,
removing the shadows from my day.
