When shadows fall
And trees whisper day is ending
My thoughts are ever wending home
Oh, when crickets call
My heart is forever yearning
Once more to be returning home

When the hills conceal the setting sun
Stars begin a-peeping, one by one
Night covers all
And though fortune may forsake me
Sweet dreams will ever take me home

When the shadows are falling
And the crickets arе calling
And the moon starts showing
And the stars are all glowing
Thе day is just ending
And my thoughts are wending home

And when the birds are sleeping
And the willows are weeping
The porch swings a swinging
And the birds are singing
My heart is yearning once more
To be returning home
When the hills conceal the setting sun
Stars begin a-peeping, one by one
Oh, night covers all
And though fortune may forsake me
Sweet dreams will ever take me home
Sweet dreams will always take me home
