I love this song. I wrote it late on a Saturday afternoon with an amazing
golden light blazing thru the window falling on my piano. About an hour after
I finished this, right at sunset, I wrote Gold Light, another of my favorites.
This version uses a 9-bar A section, a 9-bar B section, returning to the A
section (ABA form). If you repeat the A section twice, the following lyric can
be sung with the tune.
Earthly beauty
Always escapes us
flies to blue sky
vanishes out in the night.
Over green earth As the sun sets under star light Singing her song in the night
(singer silent during B section, listening to song) Earthly beauty Always
escapes us flies to blue sky vanishes out in the night
Song was composed in July of 1981.
