Whereas the evening filters through To bring the darkness seeping down. The daylight's leave now overdue High above a slumbering town. To bring the darkness seeping down As the north wind starts its blowing; High above the slumbering town Night time shadows start their showing. As the north wind starts its blowing Round and around deserted ways. Night time shadows start their showing There under, eerie phantoms gaze. Round and around deserted ways Within the blackest, darkest night There under, eerie phantoms gaze Misleading by subdued moonlight. Within the blackest, darkest night The daylight's leave now overdue; Misleading by subdued moonlight Whereas the evening filters through.
