The sun is sleeping quietly
Dm7 Dm C F
Once upon a century.
F7 F C F
Wistful oceans calm and red
F7 F C Dm
Ardent caresses laid to rest
Dm7 Dm C Dm
For my dreams I hold my life
C B
For wishes I behold my nights
Gm
A truth at the end of time
C Dm
Losing faith makes a crime.
Chorus:
Dm B F
I wish for this night-time to last for a life-time
Gm Dm B F C
The darkness around me - shores of a solar sea
Dm B C
Oh, how I wish to go down with the sun
F C Dm
Sleeping, weeping with you.
Dm C Dm
Sorrow has a human heart
C F
From my God it will depart
C F
I`d sail before a thousand moons
C Dm
Never finding where to go
C Dm
Two hundred twenty days of light
C B
Will be desired by a night
Gm
A moment for the poet`s play
C Dm
Until there`s nothing left to say.
