The approaching dark The evening draws near Crawled up on your sofa I'll hold you tight, my dear The approaching dark The day draws to a close You've had a bad day Your face shows And I wish I could Make you smile Even for a little while Even for a little while And I wish I could Make you see How close we could be How close we could be The approaching dark The evening draws near I'll try to hold you close But you'll push me away, so it's clear The approaching dark The day draws to a close You say you're too good for me Well I know That all I wanna do Is see you happy Even if you're happy without me All I wanna do is See you glow again Please, just let us Still be friends The approaching dark The evening draws near There's a heavy feeling To the atmosphere The approaching dark The day draws to a close We'll sit one last time In the afterglow
