Song 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...

I wish for this night-time...

I saw nightwish live in Stockholm a couple of days ago. This song was included, it was totally amazing. I just closed my eyes and swayed along with the audience and felt Tarjas voice in me. Totally amazing, one of the best songs I ever heard live.

I adore this song! I love Tuomas Holopainen's lyrics and all the others in Nightwish!

Sleeping sun is a wonderful song, written to the eclipse in Germany (as far as i know)
makes me cry!!!
Anyway, a beautiful masterpiece, and one of their greatest songs!
I'e been a fan of them for many years now, but can't get enough!

Wishes For The Night,
An Ocean Soul...

I love this song so peaceful and calm... Tarja has got such a beautiful voice!


* offtopic :
She should cut her hair in shoulder-length (as in the video)... Fits her so good!

The first song I ever heard from the badn. Even though I'm not a fan anymore (but I used to be many years) this song will never lose it's attraction.

This song is fantastic however it has stopped working on my cd player. I had to download it. The video is awful though, so dull it concentrates on farmland etc. No action or anything lol and I know that its not supposed to be an action-packed video type of song but some would have been good

Anyway her voice is really different from the other songs, really deep and pretty

This is one of the most beautiful Nightwish songs I've ever heard. Everytime I hear it, I feel as if I'm walking through an enchanted forest with the moonlight falling through the gaps of the trees. Then I find myself flying through those trees towards the stars.
No I haven't been doing drugs, that's what I really feel.
