Sleeping Sun

Nightwish

Dmi                    C  Dmi 
The sun is sleeping quietly 
             C    F 
Once upon a century 
                C        F 
Wistful oceans calm and red 
                 C       Dmi 
Ardent caresses laid to rest 
                 C       Dmi 
For my dreams I hold my life 
                C       BB 
For wishes I behold my nights 
                       Gmi 
A truth at the end of time 
        C              Dmi 
Losing faith makes a crime 
 
   Dmi                          Bb         F 
I wish for this night-time to last for a life-time 
   Gmi        Dmi               Bb          F C 
The darkness around me - shores of a solar sea 
Dmi                  BB            C 
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun 
  F 
Sleeping 
  C 
Weeping 
      Dmi 
With you 
 
 
Dmi           C     Dmi 
Sorrow has a human heart 
                C      F 
From my God it will depart 
                    C       F 
I`d sail before a thousand moons 
                C       Dmi 
Never finding where to go 
     C       Dmi 
222 days of light 
           C          BB 
Will be desired by a night 
                          Gmi 
A moment for the poet`s play 
                       C       Dmi 
Until there`s nothing left to say 
 
 
   Dmi                         BB         F 
I wish for this night-time to last for a life-time 
     Gmi       Dmi              BB          F-C 
The darkness around me - shores of a solar sea 
Dmi                  BB            C 
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun 
  F 
Sleeping

Weeping
