Lyrics

0:28The sun is sleeping quietly
0:33Once upon a century
0:38Wistful oceans calm and red
0:42Ardent caresses laid to rest
0:46For my dreams I hold my life
0:50For wishes I behold my night
0:55The truth at the end of time
0:59Losing faith makes a crime
1:06I wish for this night-time
1:11To last for a lifetime
1:15The darkness around me
1:19Shores of a solar sea
1:24Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
1:33Sleeping
1:35Weeping
1:37With you
1:41Sorrow has a human heart
1:45From my god it will depart
1:49I'd sail before a thousand moons
1:53Never finding where to go
1:58Two hundred twenty-two days of light
2:02Will be desired by a night
2:06A moment for the poet's play
2:11Until there's nothing left to say
2:18I wish for this night-time
2:22To last for a lifetime
2:27The darkness around me
2:31Shores of a solar sea
2:36Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
2:45Sleeping
2:47Weeping
2:49With you
3:43I wish for this night-time
3:47To last for a lifetime
3:52The darkness around me
3:56Shores of a solar sea
4:01Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
4:09Sleeping
4:12Weeping
4:14With you
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 night
The truth at the end of time
Losing faith makes a crime
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
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
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
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
