Dm
The sun is sleeping quietly
                 F
Once upon a century

Wistful oceans calm and red
                         Dm
Ardent caresses laid to rest


For my dreams I hold my life
                        Bb
For wishes I behold my night
                         Gm
The truth at the end of time
                       Dm
Losing faith makes a crime


I wish for this night-time
    Bb         F
To last for a lifetime
     Gm        Dm
The darkness around me
       Bb          F
Shores of a solar sea

Dm                   Bb            C
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
   F
Sleeping
  C
Weeping
 Dm
With you


Sorrow has a human heart
                       F
From my God it will depart

I'd sail before a thousand moons
                        Dm
Never finding where to go


Two hundred twenty-two days of light
                      Bb
Will be desired by a night
                          Gm
A moment for the poet's play
                               Dm
Until there's nothing left to say


I wish for this night-time
    Bb         F
To last for a lifetime
     Gm        Dm
The darkness around me
       Bb          F
Shores of a solar sea

Dm                   Bb            C
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
   F
Sleeping
  C
Weeping
 Dm
With you
