Lyrics

Evening of Light

[Chorus]

Midnight winds are landing at the end of time

Midnight winds are landing at the end of time

[Verse 1]

A true story wants to be mine

A true story wants to be mine

The story is telling a true lie

The story is telling a true lie

Mandolins are ringing to his viol singing

Mandolins are ringing to his viol singing

[Chorus]

Midnight winds are landing at the end of time

Midnight winds are landing at the end of time

[Verse 2]

Dungeons sink in to a slumber till the end of time

Dungeons sink in to a slumber till the end of time

Petrel sings, the doorbells pound into the unlit end of time

Petrel sings, the doorbells pound into the unlit end of time

[Chorus]

Midnight winds are landing at the end of time

Midnight winds are landing at the end of time

[Verse 3]

In the morning of my winter

When my eyes are still asleep

In the morning of my winter

When my eyes are still asleep

A dragonfly lady in a coat of snow

I'll send to kiss your heart for me

A dragonfly lady in a coat of snow

I'll send to kiss your heart for me

[Chorus]

Midnight winds are landing at the end of time

Midnight winds are landing at the end of time

[Verse 4]

The children are jumping in the evening of light

The children are jumping in the evening of light

The peasants' hands are heavy in the evening of light

The peasants' hands are heavy in the evening of light

[Chorus]

Midnight winds are landing at the end of time

Midnight winds are landing at the end of time
