The Song of Evening Lyrics

I have wandered lonely
I've heard sound of revelry
I'm leading a quiet life
And the world walks by
I once started out
To walk all around the world
I flew too near the sun
'n my wax wings fell off

I'm looking for my old man who I never knew
I'm looking for the lost leader with whom I flew
But where is the sun the sun is on the steps of a jail
This is the song of the evening no one tells me a tale

I've walked down the alleys
Too narrow for the souls
I've risked enchantment
I've heard a siren sing
I suffered somewhat
But I didn't suffer in public
I'm leading a quiet life
And I'm too young to die

I'm looking for my old man who I never knew
I'm looking for the lost leader with whom I flew
The ash of the life dries my song
If you only a knew
But this the song of evening when the phoenix lies down.

I'm looking for my old man who I never knew
I'm looking for the lost leader with whom I flew
But where is the sun the sun is on the steps of a jail
This is the song of the evening no one tells me a tale
