Rest With Me Now (Sundown drinks away this fading day)

My darling, give me your hand
Feel the flames I hide within
None will see, nor they will feel

I walk this earth all the years
Ages passed by me
As I looked at wonders
Withering, vanishing
So serene
Blazing with luring flames

Across the woods and valleys
This maze is turning around for too long
Heart belonging to green dales
And great halls of stone will never forget the tale so old

I’ve been wandering for more than one thousand of lives
Need now some rest in your arms
Let me fall sleep silently on your shoulder, my dear

Older than the world
I’m tired and lone
Word from your blood
Flame from your heart
My search is done
Darling, I sing for you now

Flames for flames
Take my hand and look at the sky
First star falls
Sundown drinks away this fading day

Eyes to eyes
Words turn in dust
Give me your hand
You, a wanderer and you will remain
The same as me
So follow the path I offer you now

The world will fall and rise
Ages will change, but time will never change us
Rest with me now caressing me still
As sundown drinks away this withering day

Dawn will weep away this silent night
As sundown drinks now this fading day
Just rest with me now, my heart
