Lyrics
On a dim December morning

A glass of "I forgot the name"

I can't turn wine to water

I won't come back again

And the minutes turn to hours

I keep spinning cards that look the same

And I so await the moment...

To talk to you

Please shine oh night my dear, embrace me

It's time again,

All light is banned

My soul is free

And blessed to see

[CHORUS:] Sometimes when I'm out of reach

And sometimes when I'm there

That is when our souls agree and join in solitaire

Sometimes when my will to love has gone away

That is when I hear your name

Now the pale sunlight is blinding

It's here to claim my sanity

And I just can't stand the waiting...

To revive ecstasy

Please shine oh night my dear, embrace me

It's time again

All light is banned

My soul is free

And blessed to see

[CHORUS]

I won't sustain another day

My love, my darkness

Daylight reflects my starving soul

And open wounds for everyone to see

[CHORUS 2x]

I want to hear your name

Hear your name
