Evening Sadness - Carptree

Put your rake down

and lock your garden shed

Let every prospect dream and sleep

in the flower bed

All your plans will

sometime not be fulfilled

you do not stop your planning though you know someday you will.

All you have made will turn to something else one day, what you have

done it could go on it could be gone

It doesn’t matter what you say — life will leave you anyway

It doesn’t matter what you do — spring will bring back everything

without you, without you, without you

Every dry leaf that’s falling to the ground

is a second passing by on a clock that’s slowing down.

The evening sadness when the days are getting few.

are only kept at distance by another grand new plan

The mark that you make, you draw in water, write in dust,

what you have done it could go on it could be gone

It doesn’t matter what you say — life will leave you anyway

It doesn’t matter what you do — spring will bring back everything

Without you, without you, without you
