Moody Blues: Evening: The SunSet - Twilight Time

Moody Blues Evening: The Sunset

When the sun goes down,
And the clouds all frown,
Night has begun for the sunset.

See it with your eyes;
Earth re-energized
By the sun's rays every day.
Take a look out there,
Planets everywhere.

When the sun goes down,
And the clouds all frown,
Night has begun for the sunset.

Shadows on the ground;
Never make a sound,
Fading away in the sunset.
Night has now become
Day for everyone.

I can see it all
From this great height.
I can feel the sun
Slipping out of sight;
And the world still goes on
Through the night.
Lyrics: Evening the Sunset, Moody Blues

Twilight Time.

Twilight time to dream awhile,
In veils of deepening blue.
As fantasy strides, over colorful skies,
Of form disappearing from view.

In twilight time, dream with me awhile.

A nightingale plays a dark mellow phrase,
Of notes that are rich and so true.
An aerial display by the firefly brigade,
Dancing to tunes no one knew.

In twilight time, dream with me awhile.
In twilight time, dream with me awhile.

Building castles in the air,
Whistling to the wind.
As nature bows down her head,
See what tomorrow brings.

In twilight time, dream with me awhile.

Bats take to wing like puppets on string,
Prancing through cool evening air.
In a sightless glide, no reason to hide
Away from the sun's blinding stare.

In twilight time, dream with me awhile.
In twilight time, dream with me awhile.

The Sunset. This song brings back such great memories.

[Thadmotor]

It is Twilight time somewhere in this challenging world . the Moody's remind us of the beauty .

[heybooboo]

The song Twilight Time has only been played by the Moodies 8 times at Concerts. How lucky I am to be a person to have seen them play it live.. I'm sorry for bragging, but finding that out made Me feel Special. I missed seeing them again in Orlando this past year.. I didn't have the money, that was sad. The Moody Blues are My all time Favorite band. Their Music is just wonderful and timeless. I thank God for sending them to. Peace to All and Happy New Year.

[lucascecil]

Twilight time is my favorite song on this album. Ray freaking killed it. It is such a JAM!

[joelrobinson]

Twilight Time is one of Ray’s best. You can just sit back and the imagery enters your mind. RIP great one.

I listened to this album over and over again as a kid for a while. I was never the same again afterward. Consciousness expanded forever.

RIP Mike Pinder, 12/27/1941 - 4/24/2024, who brought us The Sunset. And to Ray Thomas, two days younger than Mike, who passed 1/4/2018. He brought us Twilight Time.

Peter Knight's orchestration at the end of Twilight Time is simply inspired. One can almost see the fireflies.

[shellbellsb]

I was in love with The Moody blues back in the early 70s, did not know what to think about the orchestration then but I am certainly loving it as an old lady. Saw them twice in my teens. So glad, but makes me sad

[HVYMETL]

Ray Thomas - you've touched our lives in a wonderful way. Such beautiful music you've given us.

[carrie]

Mike Pinder, you are a genius .... :)

[johnharper]

Thank you Ray Thomas for this catchy piece which I have been singing too for over 50 yrs and now to honor you and continue to wonder in your own lyrics(RIP)- In twilight time dream with me awhile.

[nozack]

Brilliant fusion of rock and classical.

[stephenzinser]

63 year old man. Soaking in a my hot bathtub, honey vanilla candle lit, blasting this on my Marshall bluetooth speaker. Working in 3 hours. I can't wait to retire next year, so I can spark one.

My older brother bought all the Moody Blues albums back in the '60s and early '70s. I was 14 when he got In Search of the Lost Chord. That was the end of bubble gum and beach music for me.
