CHILLING OF THE EVENING                  (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 away,
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, old night decaying,
The song that itself sings stands all alone,
I cannot even hear it playing.

Now I've to leave,
Before I understand just what it is
I know I'm leaving, yes...
Take me from the chilling of the evening.
