Song facts
“Home (When Shadows Fall)” is a song written by Harry Clarkson, Geoffrey Clarkson and Peter van Steeden in 1931. It was covered by many artists over years (Nat King Cole in 1950, Louis Armstrong in 1932 and 1957…). Paul McCartney covered it on his 2012 album “Kisses On The Bottom“.
There’s a track called ‘Home’ that I remember from my dad’s era. It’s funny, when I suggested that one, Diana [Krall] said, ‘Oh my gosh, I thought I was the only person on earth who knew that song.’ I actually used to do an instrumental version of it, before The Beatles. I liked the chords, so I used to play a little guitar instrumental when me and John were just getting it together. So I had nice memories of that one.
Paul McCartney

Lyrics
Evening marks the close of day,
Skies of blue begin to grey,
Crimson hues are fading in the west.
Evening ever brings to me
Dreams of days that used to be,
Memories of those I love the best.
When shadows fall
And trees whisper, "Day is ending",
My thoughts are ever wending home.
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 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.
