Lyrics

I find the evening shadows
Somewhat soothing.
For I feel that I can
Hide me from myself.
I cannot look upon
The simple things I've done
After they have faded
From the sinking sun.

Sit back softly, now.
Sit back softly.
Flow the river of time.
Hear it calling.
Let it take your mind.

And I find that simple things
Can be eluding.
And the complicated
Wash themselves away.
While I sit here napping
In my ancient rocker.
When the curtains of the sky
Fall on the day.

Sit back softly, now.
Sit back softly.
Flow the river of time.
Hear it calling.
Let it take your mind.

Then at times such things as love
I'll slowly ponder
To the rhythm of
My gently rocking chair.
And I'll wonder to
The sense of it's beginning
And the mystry
That it holds for any pair.

Then an envelope
Of darkness will surround me.
And I'll look around
To see just where I am.
Then my mind will wander
Back to her soft features.
And I'll shake my head,
Feel a little sad,

And close the door, now.
Close the door, now.
Flow the river of time.
Hear it calling.
Let it take your mind.
Close the door, now.
Close the door, now.
Flow the river of time.
Hear it calling.
Hear it calling.
Let it take your mind.
Sit back softly,
Sit back softly.
Flow the river of time.
Hear it calling.
Hear it calling.
Let it take your mind.
Sit back softly.
Flow the river of time.
Hear it calling.
Let it take your mind.
Flow the river of time.
Let it take your mind.
