Píseň: Evening Star

Interpret:
Kenny Rogers
Album:
Eyes That See in the Dark
If you never rode West of the Arizona border
You can turn the other way boy but you never get far
You be living a lie if you wanna see the wonders of the age
You must follow the evening star.


Chorus:
Evening star
Shine a little Heaven
On a stranger with no dream
Where you are.


You can see the loneliness I mean and if I gotta fight
I can never play somebody else's game
I can follow the evening star
Starlight, you never need somebody else's name
If you follow the evening star.


Have you ever known a sunset when the sky's on fire
How you end another day boy you've been searching too far
Like the desert I rode on any memory is lost in the restless wind
I just lie beneath the evening star.


Chorus:
Evening star
Shine a little Heaven
On a stranger with no dream
Where you are.


Have you ever held a woman in the California moonlight
Put your money on a good night if you never been there
It's a sight for sore eyes if you wanna see the wonders of the age
Making love beneath the evening star.


Chorus
Evening star
Shine a little Heaven
on a stranger with no dream
Where you are.


You can see the loneliness I mean and if I gotta fight
I will never play somebody else's game
I can follow the evening star
Starlight, you never need somebody else's name
If you follow the evening star...
