Verse 1:
      F                                    C/G
	The evening sun is sinking,moving homeward
                     Dm                           A
	As darkened shadows claim the fight they won
                      F                              C/G
	With upturned eyes closed from the light of darkness
                         Dm         A7              Dm
	And two crossed hands that raised another's son


Verse 2:
                 F                       C/G
	Gone,oh gone the one who really loved me
                   Dm                       A
	For what i was not what i ought to be
                    F                          C/G
	Who never questioned falling leaves in autumn
                    Dm         A7           Dm
	Nor silver nests built on a dying tree


Verse 3:
                    F                           C/G
	In gingham gown she warmed me from the coldness
                    Dm                          A
	The winter nights seemed warm as summertime
		 F                        C/G
	Another love will never touch as deeply
	              Dm      A7              Dm
	As love that flew on silver wings of time


Verse 4:
                    F                         C/G
	On pension for the aged she raised a young man
                         Dm                     A
	Who learned the love of God and other things
                      F                                C/G
	Now,love he knew that twelve times warmed his winter
                    Dm     A7                 Dm
	Has flown away on time's bright silver wings
