Twilight falls along the quiet city block
Street light glimmers through the misty evening fog
I walk and see the moments drift from day to night
No weight of sorrow
no spark of wild delight
Saxophone floats out across the open air
Harp notes linger calm beyond every care
Harp notes linger calm beyond every care
The world keeps turning just the way it's always been
I take the evening as it comes to me
Evening static
steady blue
Not broken down
not breaking through
Saxophone will hum
harp will softly ring
I stay inside this ordinary thing
Evening static
steady blue
No bitter pain
no fevered thrill to view
Time rolls onward where the gentle breezes move
I live inside this ordinary groove
Dim window glows where strangers sit and drink
They talk and laugh then slip away in quick
I hold the present with a quiet steady mind
No burning longing
no shadow left behind
Saxophone floats out across the open air
Harp notes linger calm beyond every care
The world keeps turning just the way it's always been
I take the evening as it comes to me
Evening static
steady blue
Not broken down
not breaking through
Saxophone will hum
harp will softly ring
I stay inside this ordinary thing
Evening static
steady blue
No bitter pain
no fevered thrill to view
Time rolls onward where the gentle breezes move
I live inside this ordinary groove
This quiet steady blue
