The sun is sleeping quietly

Once upon a century

Wistful oceans calm and red

Ardent caresses laid to rest
C Dm
For my dreams I hold my life

For wishes I behold my nights
Gm
A truth at the end of time
Dm
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

Never finding where to go

222 days of light

A moment for the poet's play

Until there's nothing left to say
