Lyrics
The sun sits low
And the vespers ring
And the shadows grow
And the crickets sing
And it's-
Look, is that the moon?
Yes, what lovely afternoon
Yes!
The evening air doesn't feel quite right
In the not-quite glare
Of the not-quite night
And it's-
Wait, is that a star?
No, just the glow of a cigar
Oh
The atmosphere's becoming heady
The ambiance thrilling
The spirit unsteady
The flesh far too willing
To be perpetually ready
Is far from fulfilling
But wait, the sun is dipping
Where?
You're right, it's dropping
Look! At last it's slipping
Sorry, my mistake
It's stopping
The light is pink
And the air is still
And the sun is slinking behind the hill
And when finally it sets
As finally it must
When finally it lets the moon and stars adjust
When finally we greet the dark
And we're breathing amen
Surprise of surprises
It instantly rises again
