Evening: The Sun Set / Twilight Time

Mike Pinder, Ray Thomas

Evening:

I. The Sun Set (0:00 - 3:14)
[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
When the sun goes down and the clouds all frown
Night has begun for the sunset
See it with your eyes, Earth re-energised
By the sun's rays everyday
Take a look out there, planets everywhere

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
When the sun goes down and the clouds all frown
Night has begun for the sunset
Shadows on the ground, never make a sound
Fading away in the sunset
Night has now become day for everyone

[Bridge]
I can see it all
From this great height
I can feel the sun
Slipping out of sight
And the world still goes on
Through the night

[Instrumental Outro]

[Instrumental Interlude]

II. "Twilight Time" (3:15 - 6:38)
[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Twilight time, to dream awhile
In veils of deepening blue
As fantasy strides over colourful skies
The form disappearing from view

[Chorus]
In twilight time
Dream with me awhile

[Verse 2]
A nightingale plays a dark mellow phrase
Of notes that are rich and so true
An aerial display by the firefly brigade
Dancing to tunes no one knew

[Chorus]
In twilight time
Dream with me awhile
In twilight time
Dream with me awhile

[Bridge]
Building castles in the air
Whistling to the wind
As nature bows down her head
See what tomorrow brings

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
In twilight time
Dream with me awhile

[Verse 3]
Bats take to wing like puppets on string
Prancing through cool evening air
In a sightless glide, no reason to hide
Away from the sun's blinding stare

[Chorus/Outro]
In twilight time
Dream with me awhile...

[Instrumental Outro/Interlude]
