Lyrics:

Evening is a little boy with dark wind-ruffled hair
Who skips the stars like stones across a darkling pond of air


The night will never stay
The night will still go by
Though with a million stars
You pin it to the sky
Though you bind it with the blowing wind
And buckle it with the moon
The night will slip away
Like sorrow or a tune


The night will never stay
The night will still go by
Though with a million stars
You pin it to the sky
Though you bind it with the blowing wind
And buckle it with the moon
The night will slip away
Like sorrow or a tune

The night will slip away
Like sorrow or a tune
