Lyrics + translation · letras.mus.br

🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • The evening speaks, I feel it say
  • Nothing's so cold
  • As closing the heart when all we need
  • Is to free the soul

Sing it again — final chorus

  • The evening speaks, I feel it say
  • And it won't matter now
  • Whatever happens will be
  • Though the air speaks of all we'll never be
feelwantclose
