Lyrics
The Music of Evening
Copyright 2004
By Robert Befumo
The music of evening
Plays with eerie delight
A dark dreary symphony
The sound of the night
A mournful wind singing
The song of the earth
Like violins weaving
For all they are worth
Somewhere there is laughter
Quickly swallowed by tears
A cry for help falls
On unlistening ears
The hustlers hustle
The lovers embrace
A watchful eye watches
A fool hides his face
The city lights glitter
Like stars in the sky
A sky filled with dreams
That like stars burn and die
Some smile as the music
Slowly lulls them to sleep
While some listen closely
And continue to weep
They weep for injustice
For a love that has gone
For the cruel, ceaseless symphony
That forever plays on
The music of evening
Plays with eerie delight
A dark, dreary symphony
The song of the night
