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.
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.
222 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...
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.
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.
222 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...
