The song appears in Dancing With the Wheel (1991) by Sun Bear, Wabun Wind, and Crysalis Mulligan. The book could very well be of the pandering variety -- it talks at length about new-age hippy-dippy type stuff such as "the energies within you" and "centering yourself through nature" -- but I can't be certain. Caveat aside, they say:

EVENING BREEZE

This is a song to honor the West, the wind, and the ocean. It is also attributed to a variety of sources.

Evening breeze, spirit song
Comes to me when day is done
Mother Earth awaken me
To the heartbeat of the sea
