Last Line: At the end of the sunset trail.
Subject(s): Evening; Homecoming; Sunset; Twilight


Daylight fading,
Softens the sun's bright ray.
Twilight falling,
Tells of the close of day.
Sweet winds blowing
Up from the flow'ry dale,
While I wait for your home-coming
At the end of the Sunset Trail.

Now down the side of the mountain
I can see you coming along,
Down through the pines and the aspens,
And my joy o'erflows with a song.
Here by our own little cabin
While the light is beginning to fail,
I am waiting for you in the gloaming
At the end of the Sunset Trail.

Twilight shadows,
Now in the canyons lie.
Cloud caps painted,
In colors no artist can vie.
Breezes blowing,
Over the sea a sail,
While now to you I am coming
At the end of the Sunset Trail.

Now down the side of the mountain
I am swiftly coming along,
Down through the pines and the aspens,
And my heart responds to your song.
Down by our own little cabin
When the light is beginning to fail,
I am coming to you in the gloaming
At the end of the Sunset Trail.
