Lying here beside you in the shadows
With your body close to mine
I can`t help but wish that I could have you
Here beside me all the time
Knowing that I cannot keep you
From your going when the day is done
Makes me wish that I was tall enough
To reach the sky and stop the sun.
But I can see the evening shadows
Slipping silent cross the floor
And I curse the day for coming to an end
You`ll fix your face, comb your hair
And leave my arms once more
But when tomorrow comes
We`ll watch the evening shadows fall again.
When we`re here together
I don`t question why you came or why you go
I`m sure you have your reasons
But your being here is all I have to know
Knowing when you come to me
There`s nothing I can do to make you stay
Just like all the other times
You`ll leave me at the ending of the day.
But I can see the evening shadows
Slipping silent cross the floor
And I curse the day for coming to an end
You`ll fix your face, comb your hair
And leave my arms once more
But when tomorrow comes
We`ll watch the evening shadows fall again...
