Stems of Anise

[Verse 1]
There are dark spokes of light in the pool
Let your hair hang down and close my eyes
But there is no one there with you
Let your hair hang down and close my eyes

[Chorus 1]
It's a beautiful night, Maria
It's a beautiful night
When you are here singing to me
The kids on the street, the football fields

[Bridge]
Felt like a swallow inside
Past the dying king tonight
Red leaves on the shore

[Verse 2]
Hey, Kathleen
Over where the headland looms
Let your hair hang down and close my eyes
I will take you home

[Chorus 2]
It's a beautiful night, Maria
It's a beautiful night
Those ships are sailing away
It's a beautiful night
Sailing away, sailing away

[Outro]
Pick me up on Monday morning
Higher than the moon
Morning brittle as a glass
No one's looking through
No one's looking through
No one's looking through
