In The Evening - John Martyn

She was the moon and my unveiling

And needed she did watch me grow

Now she’s walking where it’s shady

Seems so strange to watch her go

And all but the time keeps happening on

Love keeps singing a song in the evening

Slowly fading gently jaded

And sliding evening of my eye

Boats are leaving leaves are crumbling

And autumn’s here and trying to cry

And all but the time keeps happening on

Love keeps singing a song in the evening

Going faster getting older

And all the time is just today

Got so many ways to see it

Not so many ways to say

The time keeps happening on

Love keeps singing a song in the evening
