The Cats - Summer Evening Lady lyrics

I was walking all alone through the hills Along the westside of the town And though the sun had almost gone The day was still alive and friendly warm The announcement to the night Was strange kind of red along the sky The day had almost died And her parting was a colorful goodbye And where the lady came from I can't remember, she just crossed my way But I remember she did match Her eyes were blue her skin was white And I tried hard to find something to say I forgot it all, I said I guess it was all crazy anyway Summer evening lady Come let's lay down on the ground upon the hill Summer evening lady Let us look and talk and dream and wait until Until the night is dark and cold Summer evening lady, let me please Let me hold your hand in mine Summer evening lady, let me please Let me touch your lips like wine And let me run my fingers, through your hair of gold The time we spent together Can't be measured by the two hands of a watch I felt like I was dreaming then And after all I think I maybe was ‘Cause when I asked her to come back She smiled a smile I've never seen before She kissed my cheek and ran away And I have never seen her anymore Summer evening lady Come, let's lay down on the ground upon the hill Summer evening lady Let us look and talk and dream and wait until Until the night is dark and cold Summer evening lady let me please Let me hold your hand in mine Summer evening lady let me please Let me touch your lips like wine Let me run my fingers through your hair of gold
