The Evening Star lyrics

[Verse 1]
I hope you don't mind if I send you a thought
You're still the special person for me
I know I should reserve that feeling for her
But I have fallen down a well of longing
I'm in a valley deep inside the earth
I'm in a rich vein of learning
I'm stuck still in the depth of the mud
Just God and tree and star for the journey

[Verse 2]
So listen friend you've got my love and respect
Do you believe in the life eternal?
I've got a feeling we'll be talking tonight
Because I knew you when we were so little

[Chorus 1]
I knew you when I was a queer fish
You were the one they all wanted
I showered you with my light from afar
Now everyone is following you, you're the evening star

[Bridge]
So many forces are pushing
How do you stay so calm?
If I could master an hour of your peace
Maybe I would know how to let this go
[Verse 3]
I messed up on the practical side
I can't believe all the trouble it caused me
I tried to make up on the spiritual side
My web of prayers and advice implore you

[Chorus 2]
To live happy in the best way you can
To live with or without me
And if I feel like I am wasting my time
I'll write another letter to sing to the evening star

[Outro]
Evening star
I'll write another letter to her
Evening star
I'll write another letter to her
Evening star
Another letter to her
