The clouds, like a fleeting fleet Lyrics

La, la la la, la la la la la la, ooh

The clouds, like a flitting flea, are thinning out

Sad evening star, you shine above the doubt

Your beam, has silvered fields that now are sealed

The sleepy bay, the peaks of mountains near

I love your feeble glow so high above

It stirs the thoughts that once were filled with love

I see your eyes, familiar heavenly light

Above that peaceful land, so pure and bright

Where slender poplars reach towards the sky

Where myrtle sleeps and cypress stands so high

And midday waves make music on the shore

There in the mountains, filled with thoughts of yore

I'd wander, lost in lazy dreamy mood

As evening shadows crept into the room

And a young maiden, searching through the night

Would call your name, and guide her steps by light

I love your feeble glow so high above

It stirs the thoughts that once were filled with love

I see your eyes, familiar heavenly light

Above that peaceful land, so pure and bright

Where slender poplars reach towards the sky

Where myrtle sleeps and cypress stands so high

And midday waves make music on the shore

There in the mountains, filled with thoughts of yore

I'd wander, lost in lazy dreamy mood

As evening shadows crept into the room

And a young maiden, searching through the night

Would call your name, and guide her steps by light
