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 and 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 Till next day Live, all you people You can see where you're at It doesn't really hurt you So that can't be bad Live, all you people You can 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
