Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The sun is sleeping quietly
Once upon a century
Wistful oceans calm and red
Ardent caresses laid to rest
[Verse 2]
For my dreams I hold my life
For wishes, I behold my nights
The truth at the end of time
Losing faith makes a crime
[Verse 3]
I wish for this night time to last for a lifetime
The darkness around me
Shores of a solar sea
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
Sleeping, weeping with you
[Verse 4]
Sorrow has a human heart
From my God it will depart
I'd sail before a thousand moons
Never finding where to go
[Verse 5]
Two hundred twenty two days of light
Will be desired by a night
A moment for the poet's play
Until there's nothing left to say
[Verse 6]
I wish for this night time to last for a lifetime
The darkness around me
Shores of a solar sea
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
Sleeping, weeping with you
[Verse 7]
I wish for this night time to last for a lifetime
The darkness around me
Shores of a solar sea
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
Sleeping, weeping with you
