Lyric

Evening pages, soft and warm

Shelter from life's daily storm

As the daylight starts to fade

And the evening plans are made

I retreat to my café

For the closing of the day

Coffee darker, stories deep

Promises that I will keep

To finish what I started here

With the characters I hold dear

Evening pages, gentle friend

Guiding me toward the end

Of another day well spent

With the books that were lent

To my heart and to my mind

Leaving daily stress behind

Twilight paints the windows gold

While these timeless stories told

Remind me of what matters most

Not the things of which we boast

But the quiet moments shared

With the words for which I've cared

Since the morning's early light

Now surrender to the night

Evening pages, gentle friend

Guiding me toward the end

Of another day well spent

With the books that were lent

To my heart and to my mind

Leaving daily stress behind

When the final page is turned

And the day's lessons are learned

I'll carry home within my heart

Every literary art

Evening pages, gentle friend

Guiding me toward the end

Of another day well spent

With the books that were lent

To my heart and to my mind

Leaving daily stress behind

Evening pages, say goodnight

Until tomorrow's morning light
