The Evening Star Lyrics - Anderson Jon

Kiss me softly, kiss me long 

For come tomorrow, you will be gone 

Into a world of sea and sky 

Leaving me lonely with the tide 

Dream of a distant, peaceful shore 

Away from the pounding waves of war 

Where we can lift our hearts on/up high 

And join our hands across the sky 

Meet silver sand(?), like wings in flight 

That touch the moon and (?) the night 

The west world winds shall guide your path 

Star strands on high shall bring you back 

Through the icy teeth of night 

My love for you shall be the light 

Casting a glimmer from afar 

When you behold the Evening star 

The waves that break upon my heart 

Shall sound a sigh while we are apart 

May sword and shield keep you from harm 

'Til you are safe within my arms 

Over the ocean deep and green 

Forever they speak and shall be seen 

Casting a glimmer from afar 

When you behold the Evening star 

Take on this voyage all my prayers 

My heart will have wings to lead you there 

To kiss you softly, kiss you long 

Beyond the gleaming gates of dawn
