Lyrics
Intro
(Soft, smoky saxophone solo - melancholy and blue)
(Slow, brushed drums, double bass walking line)
(Clean electric guitar chords with tremolo - shimmering)
(Deep, warm male voice, spoken-word, intimate):
Love is like the evening star...
Floating in the black sky over the city.
Shut your eyes...
And you'll see it too.
Verse 1
(Guitar and bass continue the slow groove)
I ask the wind, I ask the rain
Where does it go, this beautiful pain?
The neon lights flicker in the puddles on the street
I search for your face in everyone I meet.
The cafes are closing, the chairs are turned up
I'm drinking the dregs from a bitter cup.
But somewhere out there, in the velvet night
You are burning... you are burning bright.
Chorus
(Saxophone swells, drums pick up slightly)
(Male voice sings with passion):
Oh, love is like the evening star
Shining on the ruins, near and far.
It doesn't ask for reasons, it doesn't ask for time
It just hangs there... in its perfect rhyme.
And even when the clouds roll in, and the sky is gray
I know... I know you're not far away.
Verse 2
(Piano solo - jazzy, romantic, and sad)
(Voice returns, whispered)
They say that youth is a fleeting thing
Like a bird on a broken wing.
But I don't care about the years to come
I just want to feel the beat of your drum.
Your hands in mine, the silence so deep
Before the city wakes from its sleep.
Just for a moment, just for a breath
We cheat the sorrow... we cheat the death.
Bridge
(Music builds - guitar solo, emotional and soaring)
(Spoken word, intense):
Láska je jako večernice... (Love is like the evening star...)
Plující po černé obloze. (Floating in the black sky.)
Zavři oči... (Shut your eyes...)
A uvidíš ji. (And you will see her.)
Chorus
(Full band - passionate, grand finale)
Oh, love is like the evening star
Shining on the ruins, near and far.
It doesn't ask for reasons, it doesn't ask for time
It just hangs there... in its perfect rhyme.
And even when the clouds roll in, and the sky is gray
I know... I know you're not far away.
Outro
(Saxophone fades out slowly into the night)
(Spoken, very soft):
Goodnight, my crazy girl.
Shine on.
(Silence)
