about

There's a Chopin reference in this song. Can you find it?

lyrics

Hair the shade of Midnight
Skin of the Moon
Voice of a whispering wise
In the Night

Watch Her arrive
to a nocturne's melody
Giving birth to Sleep and Death

She's the Maiden of the Evening
you can take Her as She be
She'll disappear like a vapor in the air
-the beauty of brevity!
She's the Maiden of the Evening
and as sure as the sun will set
She'll rise up to the occasion
and spread Her silhouette

She puts the children to sleep
Puts a calm on the world
Watching with those starry, starry eyes
In the Sky

Watch Her arrive
to a nocturne's melody
Giving birth to Sleep and Death

She's the Maiden of the Evening
you can take Her as She be
She'll disappear like a vapor in the air
-the beauty of brevity!
She's the Maiden of the Evening
and as sure as the sun will set
She'll rise up to the occasion
and spread Her silhouette

Hue of the sun's light fades away
as she moves towards the day
Black of her dress, cloak of the night
Shadows and mysteries hidden from candlelight
