As recorded by WARREN GALJOUR:

Silent evening falls in a mist on a distant hill
The voices of day are still and I’m alone
Silent, waiting, while the romances of fancy 
Fill the world that I own, when I am alone

In the heart of the dark
I know a dream’s on it’s way to bring me you
And soon you arrive, the moon in your hair
The night is alive, while you are there

In the heart of the dark
I know the sun’s on it’s way to steal my dream
I know that you will fade in the light
And all I can do is wait for the night
Is wait for the night
Wait for the night
To bring me you
