As Evening Falls Slowly

As evening falls slowly Shading the huts in darkness The hill turns into a ghost by The side of the river with a bizarre face As evening falls slowly With lights fading away afar The clouds gather in the sky Revealing on top the horizon a sweet star As evening falls slowly A stream waits for the moon To play upon its crystal water When inebriated trees sing and swoon As evening falls slowly Streets get wrapped in dust As in a file cattle move to sheds Hungry and tired swinging tails in a haste As evening falls slowly Girls gather around the well To draw water and save in pots As sound of the flute falls silent in the dale As evening falls slowly Silence reigns across meadows A cool wind blows from the west Into the homes through doors and windows
