The Afternoon – Moody Blues

“The Afternoon” Lyrics

Tuesday afternoon
I’m just beginning to see
Now I’m on my way
It doesn’t matter to me
Chasing the clouds away
 
Something calls to me
The trees are drawing me near
I’ve got to find out why
Those gentle voices I hear
Explain it all with a sigh
 
I’m looking at myself, reflections of my mind
It’s just the kind of day to leave myself behind
So gently swaying through the fairy-land of love
If you’ll just come with me you’ll see the beauty of
 
Tuesday afternoon
Tuesday afternoon
 
Tuesday afternoon
I’m just beginning to see
Now I’m on my way
It doesn’t matter to me
Chasing the clouds away
Something calls to me
The trees are drawing me near
I’ve got to find out why
Those gentle voices I hear
Explain it all with a sigh
 
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
Live all you people
You can’t see where you’re at
It doesn’t really hurt you
So that can’t be bad
 
Evening time to get away
Evening time to get away
