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
Refrain: 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
