Eventide

Another day ends in paradise
The sea reflects the colored sky
A sailboat skids across the waves, heading for home…
The painted clouds, just natures' work of art,
A subtle hint of twinkling evening stars,
A gentle breeze carries me away
Just as far as I can go

The seagulls rest, the moon breaks through,
The dark of night consumes the view
And the waves caress sand along the beach
Twilight lingers on the palms
And silence overcomes the calm
The horizon's slowly fading out of sight
As another day ends… in paradise…

Fishing boats seek out the closest port,
Lovers holding hands along the shore,
Tourists slowing down, enjoy the view,
Time is all but standing still,
At least long enough to get our fill
As the sun slips slowly out of sight
As the day comes to an end… in paradise…

The seagulls rest, the moon breaks through,
The dark of night consumes the view
And the waves caress sand along the beach
Twilight lingers on the palms
And silence overcomes the calm
The horizon's slowly fading out of sight
As another day ends… in paradise…

The moon falls victim to the sun
The evening mist is rising up
The sea reflects a colored sky
As another day begins…. In paradise … in paradise
