"Late In The Evening" lyrics

"Late In The Evening"

Come late in the evening
The bartender rings last call
I hear the clock up on the wall

Come late in the evening
Smoke hangs in the air
I reach for your coat upon the chair
But it's not there

Come late in the evening
Drive home in my car
'Neath a sky without a star
And wonder where you are

Along the way there's a small café
That we once called ours
Where we spent the hours

Come late in the evening
In bed as shadows fall
I stare at empty walls
And listen for your footsteps to fall

And I sleep 'neath dark and empty skies
I listen to the night whisper alone, alone
In the day I watch through my windowpane
As the cars rush by in the rain
And whisper, "She's gone, she's gone."
How can I go on?

I sleep 'neath dark and empty skies
I listen to the night whisper, "She's gone, she's gone."
And still I carry on
Another dream, another song
Another night when I won't go home
'Til late in the evening
'Til late in the evening
