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
