V6

[Intro] [arpeggiated grand piano] [Verse 1] [baritone male vocals, legato strings enter] I am lost in the gathering shadows of night's dark arbor Lost to her cool, clear beauty And how it embraces me in its arms of darkness Surrounding me, calming me, soothing me With its cooling sweet balm of silence The night is a good friend of mine It brings a calming, charming silver stillness that the day cannot bring I am lost to the gathering shadows of night's dark arbor [Chorus 1] [drums enter, electric bass enters] I am lost in the gathering shadows of night's dark arbor Lost to her cool, clear beauty And how it embraces me in its arms of darkness Surrounding me, calming me, soothing me With its cooling sweet balm of silence The night is a good friend of mine It brings a calming, charming silver stillness that the day cannot bring I am lost to the gathering shadows of night's dark arbor [Bridge] [distorted electric guitar enters, orchestral percussion swells] [vocal intensity increases] Ah, ah, ah, ah [Chorus 2] [full orchestral and rock ensemble] I am lost in the gathering shadows of night's dark arbor Lost to her cool, clear beauty And how it embraces me in its arms of darkness Surrounding me [vocal ad-lib: surrounding me] Calming me, soothing me With its cooling sweet balm of silence The night is a good friend of mine It brings a calming, charming silver stillness that the day cannot bring [Outro] [drums and guitar drop out, solo piano remains] I am lost To the gathering shadow Of night's dark arbor [final piano chord sustains]
