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
