TIN PAN: EVENING

 
Remarkable Blues song, lyrically and musically. In my view, most Blues songs come down to three topics: you're so blue that only the coming darkness can ease your pain: you're so blue because your beloved woman has left you; you're so blue because evening is here, again, and you are alone.
 
Evening, every night you come and you find me
Why must you always remind me, that my baby's gone
Evening, you got me deeper in your power
Every minute seems like an hour
Since my baby's gone
Shadows fall upon the wall
That's the time I miss your kisses most of all
Even though I try, how can I go on
Oh evening, let me sleep 'til the glow of dawn is breaking
I don't care if I don't awaken
Since my baby's gone
Shadows fall upon the wall
That's the time I miss your kisses most of all
Even though I try, how can I go on
Oh evening, let me sleep 'til the glow of dawn is breaking
I don't care if I don't awaken
Since my baby's gone
