Evening: The Sun Set / Twilight Time

Lyrics

Evening: [Part I: The Sun Set (0:00 - 3:14)] [Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1: Mike Pinder] When the sun goes down and the clouds all frown Night has begun for the sunset See it with your eyes, Earth re-energised By the sun's rays everyday Take a look out there, planets everywhere [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2: Mike Pinder] 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: Mike Pinder] 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 Outro] Part II: Twilight Time (3:15 - 6:38) [Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1: Ray Thomas] Twilight time, to dream awhile In veils of deepening blue As fantasy strides over colourful skies The form disappearing from view [Chorus: Ray Thomas] In twilight time Dream with me awhile [Verse 2: Ray Thomas] 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 [Chorus: Ray Thomas] In twilight time Dream with me awhile In twilight time Dream with me awhile [Bridge: Ray Thomas] Building castles in the air Whistling to the wind As nature bows down her head See what tomorrow brings [Instrumental Break] [Chorus: Ray Thomas] Twilight time Dream with me awhile [Verse 3: Ray Thomas] Bats take to wing like puppets on string Prancing through cool evening air In a sightless glide, no reason to hide Away from the sun's blinding stare [Chorus: Ray Thomas] In twilight time Dream with me awhile In twilight time [Instrumental Outro]
