Verse 1: The evening sun is sinking,moving homeward As darkened shadows claim the fight they won With upturned eyes closed from the light of darkness And two crossed hands that raised another's son Verse 2: Gone,oh gone the one who really loved me For what i was not what i ought to be Who never questioned falling leaves in autumn Nor silver nests built on a dying tree Verse 3: In gingham gown she warmed me from the coldness The winter nights seemed warm as summertime Another love will never touch as deeply As love that flew on silver wings of time Verse 4: On pension for the aged she raised a young man Who learned the love of God and other things Now,love he knew that twelve times warmed his winter Has flown away on time's bright silver wings
