Let the light of late afternoon
Shine through the chinks in the barn
Moving up the bales as the sun moves down
Let the cricket take up chafing
As a woman takes up needles and yarn
Let evening come, let evening
Let the evening come, let the evening come
Let it come
(Ooh, let the evening come)
Let the dew collect on the hoe
Abandoned in the long, long gra**
Let the stars appear and the moon
Disclose her silver horn
Let the wind die down
Let the shed go black inside
Let evening come, let evening
Let the evening come, let the evening come
Let the evening come, let the evening come, yeah
(Ooh, let the evening come)
Let it come as it will
And do not be afraid
God does not ever leave us comfortless
Let it come as it will
And do not be afraid
Let evening come, let evening come
Let the evening come, let the evening come
(Lord, let the evening come, Lord, let the evening come)
Let the evening come, let the evening
(Lord, let the evening come, Lord, let it come)
We're gonna let the evening come
Let it come
(Ooh, let the evening come)
You gotta let the evening come, let the evening come
(Lord, let the evening come, Lord, let the evening come)
Let the evening come, let the evening
(Lord, let the evening come, Lord, let it come)
Oh, let the evening come, let the evening come
(Lord, let the evening come, Lord, let the evening come)
Let the evening come, let the evening
(Lord, let the evening come, Lord, let it come)
We gotta let the evening come, let the evening come
(Lord, let the evening come, Lord, let the evening come)
Let's let the evening come, let the evening come
(Lord, let the evening come, Lord, let it come)
Let it come
(Ooh, let the evening, evening come)
Ha, ha, ha, bring it!
(Ooh, let the evening, evening come)
(Ooh, let the evening, evening come)
