Brass Telescope on the Balcony Rail

[Intro] [Brass Telescope Focus Click & Star Shimmer Sound] Click! Polished brass lens aligned upon the blue A celestial wonder coming into view [Verse 1] [Acoustic Guitar & Rhodes Mark I] Vintage brass refractor on the mahogany stand Looking out across the quiet city land Venus shining like a diamond in the west In the golden hour that my heart loves best Crater rims on the crescent moon in white Magnified in sharpness in the twilight I turn the focusing knob with a steady thumb Watching the first evening constellations come [Pre-Chorus] [Upright Bass & Brush Snare] Starlight traveling from a billion miles away Washing all our earthly doubts away [Chorus] [Astronomical Contemplative Drop] Focusing brass telescope upon the evening star Remembering who we truly are From our humble balcony above the town Watching the celestial beauty settle down Gaze up, focus clear, let the starlight shine A masterpiece of astronomical design [Verse 2] [Felt Piano & Bassline] You look through the eyepiece with a joyful gasp Seeing the moon inside our gentle grasp We share a woolen blanket in the chill Happy right here on our rooftop sill [Bridge] [Soulful Vocal Belt & Guitar Solo] Oh, the cosmos is a cathedral wide and grand Built by a loving and celestial hand Brass, stars, wonder and an honest soul Making my creative spirit whole [Chorus] [Full Grand Astronomical Climax] Focusing brass telescope upon the evening star Remembering who we truly are From our humble balcony above the town Watching the celestial beauty settle down Gaze up, focus clear, let the starlight shine A masterpiece of astronomical design [Outro] [Telescope Lens Cap Clicks On & Soft Sigh] Brass telescope... First evening star. [Fade Out] [End]
