Evening Blue by Traffic

A while back, a friend recommended this song to me. “Just sit and listen and draw what you feel and hear.” This was what came out.

It's a beautiful and melancholy song. I think that it means different things to different people. Acceptance of circumstance is the secret to happiness.

Evening Blue – Traffic 1973 – Shoot Out at the Fantasy Factory

Sitting all alone by the fireside Listen to the wind in the chimney top Haven't slept for days, and I'm still wide eyed Try not to think, but my mind won't stop Evening shadows making my heart sing out With the setting sun, turning leaves to brown If I had a lover, who's heart was true I wouldn't be alone in this evening blue Everybody's looking for something in life Not everyone's finds what they're looking for Everybody wants a little happiness in life But everyone can open the door Morning wakens, making my heart sing out Now that summer's here, changing fears and doubts
