Lyrics Rick Miller - When the Evening Comes

Each day I awake, there’s a time,
Before I recall that life’s no longer mine.
I feel the wind in my hair,
And hear the sound of rain in the evening air.
But then the moment is done,
The pain that grows inside me isn’t gone.

I rise with the sun every day,
I live what I can with the time that’s left to me.
But then the evening comes,
Reminds me that my time isn’t long.

And when I’m with you, I feel free,
Like time’s standing still,
And nothing worries me.
The sun will still shine when I’m gone,
For life carries on,
That’s the way it’s meant to be.
But then the evening comes,
Reminds me that my time isn’t long.
