Lyrics

The field hands are returning, the cows are in the barn
A quiet harkening of, the conclusion of another work day gone
The fields are all afire, the hills are all aglow
From sunlight streaking high, across a painted sky, to us below

And there can be no denying, the long shadows falling cross the lawn
Nor just how much time has come and gone, since the shadows of dawn
But your gentle smile reminds me, like the sun’s slowly softening rays
The early evening is, my favorite time of day

I’m feeling mighty weary, my bones ache one and all
The hours of the days, have affect on me in ways, I can’t forestall
I see you in the doorway, flashing your finest sunset smile
And just a hug from you, has the power to renew me, for a while

CHORUS

There is no way of knowing, what’s in store for me and you
But I am certain that together, we’ll see it through

You catch my eye across the kitchen, I see some mischief there at play
I think I comprehend, your intention to extend, my working day
Its good work if you can find it, but I’ve got my own plans for you
I really can’t pretend, I’ve no desire to extend, your workday too

CHORUS

Let’s sit on the porch a spell, till the final dying ray
See if we can make it last forever, until it slowly fades away
