Dawn is a feeling
A beautiful ceiling
The smell of grass
Just makes you pass
Into a dream

You're here today
No future fears
This day will last
A thousand years
If you want it to

You look around you
Things they astound you
So breathe in deep
You're not asleep
Open your mind

You're here today
No future fears
This day will last
A thousand years
If you want it to

Do you understand
That all over this land
There's a feeling
In minds far and near
Things are becoming clear
With a meaning

Now that you're knowing
Pleasure starts flowing
It's true life flies
Faster than eyes
Could ever see

You're here today
No future fears
This day will last
A thousand years
If you want it to

(Evening: Time to Get Away)

Evening has come to pass,
The time of day doesn't last.
Evening, has earned its place today,
I'm tired of working away.

Working, living it brings,
Only way to have those things.
Toiling has bought too many tears,
Turn 'round all those past years.

Evening time to get away.
Evening time to get away.
Evening time to get away.
'Til next day.

Live all you people,
You can't see where you're at,
It doesn't really hurt you,
So that can't be bad.
(repeat)

Evening time to get away.
Evening time to get away.

(Evening: The Sun Set)

When the sun goes down, and the clouds all frown,
Night has begun for the sunset.
See it with your eyes, Earth's re-energized
By the sun's rays everyday.
Take a look out there, planets everywhere.

When the sun goes down, and the clouds all frown,
Night has begun for the sunset.
Shadows on the ground, never make a sound,
Fading away in the sunset.
Night has now become day for everyone.

I can see it all, from this great height,
I can feel the sun, slipping out of sight.
And the world still goes on through the night.

-----
(Evening: Twilight Time)

Twilight time to dream awhile,
In veils of deepening blue.
As fantasy strides, over colourful skies,
Of form disappearing from view.

In twilight time, dream with me awhile.

A nightingale plays a dark mellow phrase,
Of notes that are rich and so true.
An aerial display by the firefly brigade,
Dancing to tunes no one knew.

In twilight time, dream with me awhile.
In twilight time, dream with me awhile.

Building castles in the air,
Whistling to the wind.
As nature bows down her head,
See what tomorrow brings.

In twilight time, dream with me awhile.

Bats take to wing like puppets on string,
Prancing through cool evening air.
In a sightless glide, no reason to hide
Away from the sun's blinding stare.

In twilight time, dream with me awhile.
In twilight time, dream with me awhile.

I see it all through my window it seems
Never failing like millions of bees
Our life is run
No time will be won
All they need to do-o-o-o
What can be done?

Peak hour, peak hour, peak hour

Minds are subject to what should be done
Problem solved, time cannot be won
One hour a day
One hour at night
Sees crowds of people
Home in full flight

Peak hour, peak hour, peak hour

It makes me want to run out and tell them
They've got time
Take a step back out and look in
I found out I've got time

Minds are subject to what should be done
Problem solved, time cannot be won
One hour a day
One hour at night
Sees crowds of people
Home in full flight

Peak hour, peak hour, peak hour

Nights in white satin never reaching the end
Letters I've written never meaning to send
Beauty I'd always missed with these eyes before
Just what the truth is I can't say any more
Cause I love you
Yes I love you
Oh how I love you

Gazing at people some hand in hand
Just what I'm going through they can't understand
Some try to tell me thoughts they cannot defend
Just what you want to be you'll be in the end
And I love you
Yes I love you
Oh how I love you, oh
I love you
