lyrics

Verse 1

The shadows grow longer on all that we see
And the colours go back down to the deep

The sky’s blood red as a rose
And the rhythm it slows
Down alleyways, over the cobblestones, onto the streets

Where it glitters and shines
In the gutters of time
Now ladies and gentlemen for you to all take your seats

From the left, to the right
Listen, here comes the night now

Chorus

And evening's falling
to the sound of a thousand mandolins.

Verse 2

This crooked mile winds on its way till it finds you
A temple-like tavern of treats

Where there’s a band on a roll
Singing “Silvermine Soul”
It’s what you go looking for when you want some relief

'Cause there’s a dream on the breeze
In the hot city
Squeeze me another one out of that barrel and i’ll go in peace

From the East, to the West
To my love,
To the rescue!

Chorus

Evening's falling
to the sound of a thousand mandolins.
Can you hear me calling?
And we'll dance to a thousand mandolins
cause the world just spins
and the pale moon grins
and forgives your sins
and you know you're nearly home.
