Lyrics
Verse 1:
After the gray of a long dreary day comes the evening
Peaceful and calm as a sheltering palm is the evening
Daytime has gone to rest, there in the golden west
Soon little stars will appear in the sky
Seeming to say, `We are here, hush-a-bye`
Chorus:
Evening, lady of the evening
I can hear you calling me
Calling, while the shades are falling
Falling over land and sea
You can make the cares and troubles
That followed me through the day
Fold their tents just like the Arabs
And silently steal away
Evening, lady of the evening
I hear you calling me
