[Intro: Slow, walking upright bass, soft bluesy guitar riff] [Verse 1 - Raspy, slow] אֶשָּׂא עֵינַי אֶל הֶהָרִים... מֵאַיִן יָבֹא עֶזְרִי? (Es-sa ei-nai el he-ha-rim... me-a-yin ya-vo ez-ri?) The stars are low, the road is long tonight. (The stars are low, the road is long to-night.) [Chorus - Saxophone fills the spaces] ה' שָׁמְרֶךָ... He’s watching in the dark. (Ha-shem shom-re-cha... He's watch-ing in the dark.) [Solo: Sultry blues guitar, slow and deliberate] [Intro: Minor key piano chords, smoky trumpet/sax mute] [Verse 1 - Deep, soulful] הַשָּׁמַיִם מְסַפְּרִים כְּבוֹד אֵל... מְסַפְּרִים כְּבוֹד אֵל (Ha-sha-ma-yim me-sap-rim ke-vod El... me-sap-rim ke-vod El) Underneath the velvet sky, the truth is calling out. (Un-der-neath the vel-vet sky, the truth is cal-ling out.) [Chorus - Smooth, melancholic] וּכְחָתָן יֹצֵא מֵחֻפָּתוֹ... like a fire in the blue. (U-che-cha-tan yo-tze me-chu-pa-to... like a fire in the blue.) [Intro: Stomping blues beat with brushes, driving upright bass] [Verse 1 - Gritty, rhythmic] בְּצֵאת יִשְׂרָאֵל מִמִּצְרָיִם... the water felt the soul. (Be-tzeit Yis-ra-el mi-mitz-ra-yim... the wa-ter felt the soul.) Everything was turning, the river started to roll. (Ev-ery-thing was turn-ing, the river start-ed to roll.) [Chorus - Powerful Blues Belt] הַיָּם רָאָה וַיָּנֹס... it couldn't stand the light. (Ha-yam ra-ah va-ya-nos... it could-n't stand the light.) [Outro: Extended bluesy guitar solo, fading out]
