Sounds of Night

[Verse 1] Hear the evening breezes start to blowing See the evening shadows start to come Listen to the nightbirds start their singing Now the sounds of night have just begun [Verse 2] A lonely hootowl cries out in the darkness For its mate that's nowhere to be found Then a lonesome whippoorwill starts calling Their lonely voices fill the night with sound [Chorus] Hear the church bell ringing in the distance What a mournful sound so late at night Wonder why the darkness makes it sound so lonesome Listen to the lonely sounds of night [Verse 3] The darkness seems to whisper in the silence Your love is gone but things will be all right Still my lonely heart cries with the darkness Listening to the lonely sounds of night [Chorus] Hear the church bell ringing in the distance What a mournful sound so late at night Wonder why the darkness makes it sound so lonesome Listen to the lonely sounds of night
