Evening's End (formerly titled 'A Song For The Road')

(Words: Holmes Hooke, Music: Brendan Nolan)

Key of D, Capo 2 in key of C

Our evening her has reached the end
The time to part is near
I'm glad our roads they did cross
And came together here
Your welcome it has been so warm
So before you travel on
Raise your glass and raise your voice
And sing a parting song

And if your road is lonely
Even to the end
A song that's kept in your heart
Will be a steady friend
And if your way is paved with love
Raise your voice in song
And share it with a traveler
Whose road is hard and long

The ways we take from this place
Have many twists and bends
But I've never traveled a road
That didn't have an end
And when I meet some folk like you
I'd like to call my friend
I pray the road will take a turn
And we sing this song again

Now if I find a resting place
Before I'm back this way
Or if the road be just too long
And my step has turned to clay
If from this night you do recall
Just one line from this song
Then even if our road will end
This song will travel on

Our evening here has reached the end
The time to part is near
I'm glad our roads they did cross
And came together here
Your welcome it has been so warm
So, before you travel on
Raise you glass and raise your voice
And sing a parting song
