Mark Hollis
It’s Getting Late in the Evening
[Intro]
Everybody's laughing
Everybody's laughing
Everybody's laughing
Everybody's laughing

[Verse 1]
Brilliant sky
Set the sails, our hearts are open
Don't cry
I believe release is in your smile

[Chorus]
The tide shall turn to shelter us from storm
The seas of charity shall overflow
And bathe us all

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
Walk on by
Make believe our exile's chosen
Untied
I can see our freedom's in your mind

[Chorus]
The tide shall turn to shelter us from storm
The seas of charity shall overflow
And bathe us all
