Song lyrics

Send "Sleeping Sun" ringtones to your cell

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...

I wish for this night-time...

Send "Sleeping Sun" ringtones to your cell

173 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal It really is a pity. I was travelling that time so I got the news a week later - I could have choked on my tea in the aeroplane. The song is plain amazing. This is one of the few pieces I could just listen to all over and over and over again. Tarja's voice is something I've never heard anywhere before. Unique.
