1. The sun is sleeping quietly
Once upon a century
Wistful oceans calm and red
Ardent caresses laid to rest.

For my dreams I hold my life
For wishes I behold my nights
A truth at the end of time
Losing faith makes a crime.

[Chorus:]
I wish for this night-time to last for a life-time
The darkness around me - Shores of a solar sea
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
Sleeping
Weeping
With you.

2. Sorrow has a human heart
From my God it will depart
I'd sail before a thousand moons
Never finding where to go.

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.
