Dm C Dm
The sun is sleeping quietly
C F
Once upon a century
C F
Wistful oceans calm and red
E Dm
Ardent caresses laid to rest
F Dm
For my dreams I hold my life
C A#
For wishes I behold my nights
Gm
A truth at the end of time
Dm
Losing faith makes a crime
Dm A# F
I wish for this night-time to last for a life-time
Gm Dm A# F E
The darkness around me — shores of a solar sea
Dm A# C
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
F
Sleeping
C
Weeping
Dm
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
E Dm
Never finding where to go
C Dm
222 days of light
C A#
Will be desired by a night
Gm
A moment for the poet`s play
Dm
Until there`s nothing left to say
Dm A# F
I wish for this night-time to last for a life-time
Gm Dm A# F E
The darkness around me — shores of a solar sea
Dm A# C
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun

Sleeping
C
Weeping
Dm
With you
