Evening Is a Little Boy / The Night Will Never Stay
Alec Wilder, Eleanor Farjeon, Frances Frost
PART 1: Evening Is a Little Boy
Evening is a little boy
With dark wind ruffled hair
Who skips the stars
Like stones across the darkening part of hail
PART II: The Night Will Never Stay
Life will never stay
The live will still come by
And half a million stars
You pin it to the sky
And though you bind it with the blowing wind
And buckle it with the moon
But the night will slip away
Like sorrow or a tomb
Life will never stay
The live will still come by
And half a million stars
You pin it to the sky
And though you bind it with the blowing wind
And buckle it with the moon
But the night will slip away
Like sorrow or a tomb
The life is over with
The stars will turn
