[C] [E] [Bb]
[C] [Dm] The sun is sleeping [C] quietly [Dm]
Once upon a [C] [F] century
Wistful [C] oceans calm [F] and red Ardent caresses [C] laid to [Dm] rest
For my dreams [G] I hold my [Dm] life for wishes I [Bb] behold my night, the truth at the end [Gm] of
time Losing faith makes a cry
[Dm]
[Dm] I wish for this night time [Bb] to last for [F] if time
[Gm] The darkness [Dm] around me [Bb] Shores of the solar [F] [C] sea
[Dm] Oh how I wish to [Bb] go down [C] [F]
within, [C] within, [Dm] within
Sorrow has a [C] human [Dm] heart Oh my God it [C] will [F] depart
I'd sail before a thousand moons Never far
[C] to [Dm] go
Two hundred twenty-two [C] days of [Dm] light Will be desired [C] by a [Bb] knight

The darkness [Dm] around me [Bb] Shores of the solar [F]
