[Verse]
A#m F
Strings in the earth and air
C# G#
Make music sweet
A#m F#
Strings by the river
D# F
Where the willows meet
Cm G
There’s music along the river
G# D#
For love wanders there
Fm A#
Pale flowers on his mantle
D# F
Dark leaves on his hair
A#m F
All softly playing
C# G#
With head to the music bent
A#m F#
And fingers straying
D# F
Upon an instrument
[Solo]
Cm G G# D#
Fm A# D# F
[Verse]
A#m F
Twilight turns from amethyst
C# G#
To deep and deeper blue
A#m F#
The lamps fills with a pale green glow
D# F
The trees of the avenue
Cm G
The old piano plays an air
G# D#
Sedate and slow and gay
Fm A#
She bends upon the yellow keys
D# F
Her head inclines this way
A#m F
Shy thought and grave wide eyes
C# G#
And hands that wonder as they rest
A#m F#
The twilight turns to darker blue
D# F
