Chilling of the Evening
(TEG cover)

Chilling of the Evening (Words and music by Arlo Guthrie )

Warm me from the wind and take my hand

A song is sounding, softly singing

My song is cast upon the rainbow waves

Forever splashing in the sunlight

Prove to me there's a love still left

In all of this emptiness all around me

Yes, take me from the chilling of the evening

Though you know my love that I must go

A-following the winds that blow inside me

I've nowhere left to run or hide

Except if you will come and run beside me

And even if you do there'll be a lot for us to do

To keep believing

Yes, take me from the chilling of the evening

And now my time has come down many streets

I'm coming from a night decaying

The song that itself sings stands all alone

I cannot even hear it playing

Now to leave before I understand

Just what it is I know I'm leaving

Take me from the chilling of the evening

of the evening…
