D5 
The sun is sleeping quietly 
D5               F5 
Once upon a century 
F5 
Wistful oceans calm and red 
                        D5 
Ardent caresses laid to rest 
 

D5 
For my dreams I hold my life 
                                  Bb5 
For wishes I behold my night 
                                 G5 
The truth at the end of time 
                                  D5 
Losing faith makes a crime 
 
Chorus 
 

  D5 
I wish for this night-time 
   Bb5            F5 
to last for a lifetime 
    G5        D5 
The darkness around me 
           Bb5             F5 
Shores of a solar sea 
D5                           Bb5                C5 
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun 
F5 
Sleeping 
C5 
Weeping 
D5 
With you...

D5 
Sorrow has a human heart 
D5                              F5 
From my god it will depart 
F5 
I'd sail before a thousand moons 
                                D5 
Never finding where to go 
 
 
D5 
Two hundred twenty-two days of light 
                               Bb5 
Will be desired by a night 
                                    G5 
A moment for the poet's play 
                                      D5 
Until there's nothing left to say 
 
Chorus 
 

  F5 
I wish for this night-time 
   D5                 A5 
to last for a lifetime 
    B5             F#5 
The darkness around me 
       D5                 A5 
Shores of a solar sea 
F5                            D5               E5           
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun 
A5 
Sleeping 
E5 
Weeping 
     F5 
With you
