Evening is a little boy
     C         F       C
With dark wind-ruffled hair
              Dm7        C       Am
Who skips the stars like stones across
    F         G        C
The sparkling heart of air


{PART II: The Night Will Never Stay}

[Intro]
C  F  C  F  C  F  C  F

[Verse]
    C
The night will never stay
               G          C
The light will still come by
    Am     D       Em
And half a million stars
    Am            G
You pin it to the sky
           G7     C
Though you bind it with my wing winds
    F         D7       G
And buckle it with the moon
    C
The night will slip away
     F      G      C
Like sorrow o'er a tomb

Like sorrow o'er a tomb
