CALL OF THE TWILIGHT
(McAndrew)

Verse 1
your voice as a whisper I hear on the wind
from the trees of the dell as dawn’s chorus begins
the faint beating echoes of thoughts caught in time
rich the sense of adventure, birth of feelings sublime

Verse 2
there is simply no time to acknowledge you’re there
from the healthy distraction, childhood dreams unaware
in a haze of forever, the unfolding of youth
as we seek for our treasure in quest for the truth

Chorus 1
no sense of midnight, distant CALL OF THE TWILIGHT
in the glow of the firelight, faintly calling the twilight
no sense of midnight, distant CALL OF THE TWILIGHT
in the glow of the firelight, faintly calling the twilight

Verse 3
as you raise up your profile, start to make me aware
quietly call from the shadows, I start sensing you're there
still absorbed in distraction, though your presence now felt
as the turning of pages, now the ice starts to melt

Verse 4
the sand in the hourglass is falling on through
meaning much more for me than it’s meaning for you
Ttake my place on the journey, take my place in the line
as the question grows louder, now more your place than mine

Chorus 2
a slight sense of midnight, quiet CALL OF THE TWILIGHT
in the glow of firelight, quietly calling the twilight
a slight sense of midnight, quiet CALL OF THE TWILIGHT
in the glow of firelight, quietly calling the twilight


Verse 5
though less time on my hands, start conversing with you
as you force me to listen, start to turning the screw
in this aging adventure, filled with sweetness and light
start to think of tomorrow, now aware of the fight

Verse 6
now the temperature’s rising, as the sound of your voice
makes it clear where I’m heading, makes it clear there’s no choice
now I must make some sign, an indelible mark
before light fades away, soon replaced by the dark

Chorus 3
no mistaking the midnight, wish to go back to twilight
dying embers of firelight, now the taunting, soon midnight
now the past that was twilight, screaming beckoning midnight
embers died now of firelight, screaming ends stroke of midnight
