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

Dm 
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 

Chorus 

  Dm 
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... 

2ª parte 

Dm 
Sorrow has a human heart 
Dm                              F 
From my god it will depart 
F 
I'd sail before a thousand moons 
                                  Dm 
Never finding where to go 


Dm 
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 

Chorus 

  Fm 
I wish for this night-time 
   Db                 Ab 
to last for a lifetime 
    Bbm       Fm 
The darkness around me 
       Db         Ab 
Shores of a solar sea 
Fm                              Db                    Eb           
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun 
Ab 
Sleeping 
Eb 
Weeping 
     Fm 
With you
