Across the Evening Sky / アクロス ジ イブニング スカイ

[Intro] [Verse 1] Golden shadows on the avenue Fading slowly into blue I watch the sunset losing fire While the city hums like a tired choir Somewhere far beyond this night Morning opens into light Someone wakes beside the sea To another world I’ll never see [Pre-Chorus 1] I don’t know the names of distant towns Or how the stars look looking down From the other side of this turning earth Still I wonder what a dream is worth [Chorus 1] And I look across the evening sky Thinking maybe we are passing by Tiny hearts in a world so wide Trying to keep a flame alive Though I’m small beneath the spinning blue There are roads I still must travel through Step by step and mile by mile I’ll keep walking for a little while [Verse 2] People talking on the television Words about freedom, hope, religion But sometimes I can barely find The quiet truth inside my mind I imagine faces I don’t know Standing in the sunrise glow Children laughing somewhere far away Beginning their tomorrow day [Pre-Chorus 2] And maybe every soul alive Is searching for the same small light A place to stand, a hand to hold Before the night grows dark and cold [Chorus 2] So I look across the evening sky While the clouds are drifting slowly by Dreams and fears all intertwined Like scattered birds that never fly And though this world is larger than Anything I understand Little by little, day by day I think I’ll find my way [Bridge] The earth keeps turning silently Beyond the things I’ll ever see And every sunset leaves behind Another chance to change my mind Maybe hope is small and faint Like colors washing into gray But even tiny lights can shine Before they fade away [Final Chorus] Now I look across the evening sky And I no longer need to ask why Somewhere dawn is breaking free For someone else, not only me And though I’m just one passing soul Trying to make these pieces whole Step by step and breath by breath I’ll follow where tomorrow leads [Outro] Golden shadows disappear Night arrives, but I am here Underneath the endless blue Still becoming someone new
