I. Forever Afternoon (Tuesday?)
[Verse 1]
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
[Bridge]
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 fairyland of love
If you'll just come with me and see the beauty of
[Chorus]
Tuesday afternoon
Tuesday afternoon
[Verse 2]
Tuesday afternoon
I'm just beginning to see
Now I'm on my way
It doesn't matter to me
Chasing the clouds away

I've got to find out why
Those gentle voices I hear
Explain it all with a sigh

II. (Evening) Time To Get Away
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Evening has come to pass
The time of day doesn't last
Evening has earned its place today
I'm tired of working away
[Verse 2]
Working, living, it brings
Only way to have those things
Toiling has bought too many tears,
Turn 'round all those past years
[Chorus]
Evening time to get away
Evening time to get away
Evening time to get away
'Til next day
[Bridge]
Live all you people
You can see where you're at
It doesn't really hurt you
So that can't be bad
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
Live all you people
You can't see where you're at
It doesn't really hurt you
So it can't be bad
[Chorus/Outro]
Evening time to get away
Evening time to get away
Evening time to get away...
