Hear! A voice from out my spirit cries
From the place where my soul lies to hide
Off the light of day so vain to me
As to a lonely thunder-blasted tree
Can the stricken eagle soar?
Can the dying lion roar?
I will never see you sine
But take away the sorrow from my mind
Evening star
Evening star
From a fate unwilling and unfair
Winds of pain are spreading through the air
In my days and in my sleepless nights
Nothing changes, nothing can be right
Can the stricken eagle soar?
Can the dying lion roar?
I will never see you shine
But take away the sorrow from my mind
Evening star
Evening star
Oohh! Am I losing my mind?
I've been gazing for a while
On your shining smile
But so far is the light of my star!
From a fate unwilling and unfair
Winds of pain are spreading through the air
In my days and in my sleepless nights
Nothing changes, nothing can be right
Can the stricken eagle soar?
Can the dying lion roar?
I will never see you shine
But take away the sorrow from my mind
Evening star
Evening star
Evening star
Oohh! Shining evening star
From the place where my soul lies to hide
Off the light of day so vain to me
As to a lonely thunder-blasted tree
Can the stricken eagle soar?
Can the dying lion roar?
I will never see you sine
But take away the sorrow from my mind
Evening star
Evening star
From a fate unwilling and unfair
Winds of pain are spreading through the air
In my days and in my sleepless nights
Nothing changes, nothing can be right
Can the stricken eagle soar?
Can the dying lion roar?
I will never see you shine
But take away the sorrow from my mind
