The moment passed---
You failed to grasp it
As it slipped
Quietly away from you
Into the eye of the evening
Now she sits
Beyond your reach
As darkness moves up
From the earth
To fill the sky
And leave its mark
Upon your heart

The moment passed---
You failed to grasp it
As it slipped
Quietly away from you
Into the eye of the evening
Now she sits
Beyond your reach
As darkness moves up
From the earth
To fill the sky
And leave its mark
Upon your heart
