....when the evening turns to grey....



When the evening turns to grey and you are sitting all alone...
As often, at the close of day, you choose to wander on your own...
Oh then - will you remember me?...
Oh then - will you remember me?...



man must often walk a lonely road....


I do not ask that when with friends you let old memories take your time.
or when you're laughing in another's arms you let my laughter fill your mind...
or when you're walking on some distant shore and underneath a foreign sky.
- then let the future be your only thought or let a daydream fill your eye....

CHORUS:
But when the evening turns to grey and you are sitting all alone...
As often, at the close of day, you choose to wander on your own...
Oh then - will you remember me?...
Oh then - will you remember me?....


man must often walk a lonely road....


I do not ask that you should sing or play the songs that we have known.
or try to hold to them like captive birds if they have taken wings and flown...
I would not try to bind your feet my friend - no, nor weep for you if you can't stay,
if I can't follow where you're going now or be a part of your new day...

CHORUS:
But when the evening turns to grey and you are sitting all alone...
As often, at the close of day, you choose to wander on your own...
Oh then - will you remember me?...
Oh then - will you remember me?....


man must often walk a lonely road....


I do not ask that you give when you have given all you can.
I do not ask that you should live for me - for after all you're but a man...
and man must often walk a lonely road before he finds what he must do,
before he finds the reason for his life - as I once found my own in you...

CHORUS:
So when the evening turns to grey and you are sitting all alone...
As often, at the close of day, you choose to wander on your own...
Oh then - will you remember me?...
Oh then - will you remember me?....
