The Story - In The Gloaming lyrics

[PETEY: I've finished my cornflakes. MEG: Were they nice? PETEY: Very nice. MEG: I've got something else for you. PETEY: Good. -- "The Birthday Party", by Harold Pinter] In the gloaming, oh my darling When the lights are soft and low And the quiet shadows, falling Softly come and softly go When the trees are sobbing faintly With a gentle unknown woe Will you think of me and love me As you did once, long ago? In the gloaming, oh my darling Think not bitterly of me Though I pa**ed away in silence Left you lonely, set you free For my heart was tossed with longing What had been could never be It was best to leave you thus, dear Best for you, and best for me In the gloaming, oh my darling When the lights are soft and low Will you think of me, and love me As you did once, long ago?
