Lyrics:
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 night
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

Two hundred twenty-two 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

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

There are no words, neither in English nor in German, there are only tears to describe the beauty of Tarjas voice!!!

[edouardnicoud]

Tarja looks like an angel ...
The words "night time" in her mouth sound like a dream ...

[Maestro]

When I see young Tuomas, it makes me shiver, he is such a cool composer, and when Tarja starts singing, my body is covered with goosebumps and it seems that my soul is flying away

[BENjamin]

The feeling of this song... it's magical, doesn't matter how much time has passed.
