Lyrics: Arlo Guthrie. Alice's Restaurant. Chilling of the Evening.

Warm me from the wind and take my hand
A song is sounding, softly singing
My song is cast upon the rainbow waves
Forever splashing in the sunlight

Prove to me there's a love still left
In all of this emptiness all around me
Yes take me from the chilling of the evening

Though you know my love that I must go
A following the winds that blow inside me
I've nowhere left to run or hide
Except if you will come and run beside me

And even if you do there'll be a lot
For us to do to keep believing
Yes take me from the chilling of the evening

And now my time has come down many streets
I'm coming from a night decaying
The song that itself sings stands all alone
I cannot even hear it playing

Now to leave before I understand
Just what it is I know I'm leaving
Take me from the chilling of the evening

Of the evening
