A Little Night Music: The Sun Won't Set (Night Waltz I)

The sun sits low
Diffusing its usual glow
Five o'clock, twilight
Vespers sound and it's six o'clock
Twilight all around
But the sun sits low
As low it's going to go

Eight o'clock
Twilight
How enthralling! It's
Nine o'clock
Twilight
Slowly crawling towards
Ten o'clock
Twilight
Crickets calling
The vespers ring
The nightingale's waiting to sing
The rest of us wait on a string
Perpetual sunset is rather an unsettling thing

The sun won't set
It's fruitless to hope or to fret
It's dark as it's going to get
The hands on the clock turn
But don't sing a nocturne just yet
