Chilling of the Evening

Words and music by Arlo Guthrie Warm me from the wind and take my haand 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 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 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 is 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
