Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Evening chord, flat light
No curtains, just the street
I played until the room went grey
After Renn moved to a new flat
[Chorus]
On marking time with a single repeated phrase
Descending chromatic, static melody
Dusk every night until the song arrived
And the evening set me free
[Verse 2]
Flat light through uncovered windows
Piano at the edge of day
The chord repeats like evening falling
And night is on its way
[Chorus]
On marking time with a single repeated phrase
Descending chromatic, static melody
Dusk every night until the song arrived
And the evening set me free
[Bridge]
No curtains, just the street outside
Flat light and grey again
I played until the room went dark
And then I played it once again
[Chorus]
On marking time with a single repeated phrase
Descending chromatic, static melody
Dusk every night until the song arrived
And the evening set me free
[Outro]
Evening chord
Flat light
