Shawn Colvin - Evening Is A Little Boy / The Night Will Never Stay Lyrics

Evening is a little boy
With dark wind ruffled hair
Who skips the stars
Like stones across the darkening part of hail

[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
