Every time I stop to say hello to you
And I wonder in the morning
about all the things my heart
Then by afternoon my thoughts have fallen
on the scattered pages of my mind
And you're the shadow of the evening,
resting in between a man and his wife.
And the children wave goodbye and cry,
I love you daddy, as I face the door.
Good God, darling, yes, I love you
But a kiss upon his cheek
just like the cold of a knife
resting in between a man and his wife.
You're the shadow of the evening,
and I spend my nights believing
In a dream where I could live
You're the shadow of the evening
Resting there with me the whole night
Only time can give us meaning
To the things we've shared together
But a kiss upon your lips
Resting in between a mountain
You're the shadow of the evening
And I spend my nights with you
In a dream where I could live
You're the shadow of the evening
Resting there with me the
You're the shadow of the evening
That I spend my nights believing
In a dream where I could live
You're the shadow of the interesting thing
