In a dream a long long time ago
I came across a nameless tombstone
As I moved on, I felt so fallen
So many years now passed on
With each year, the more crestfallen
And the worst is yet to come

On a night in mid December
I gaze at the fading lights
For as long as I remember
I was at one with the night
On and on, forever and ever on
Further down the unknown path
Towards all mysteries undone
Towards the absent sun

Like a dream I lost some time ago
Like a star that long since lost its glow
Summer's gone, the snow keeps falling
Here at the winter's heart
As the dawn now looms before me
Behold the winter sun

On a night in mid December
I gaze at the fading lights
For as long as I remember
I was at one with the night
On and on, forever and ever on
Further down the unknown path
Towards all mysteries undone
Towards the absent sun

As we all cling on to the light
As we fall, we pass into the night

On a night in mid December
I gaze at the fading lights
For as long as I remember
I was at one with the night
On and on, forever and ever on
Further down the unknown path
Towards all mysteries undone
Towards the absent sun

On a night in mid December
I gaze at the fading lights
For as long as I remember
I was at one with the night
On and on, forever and ever on
Further down the unknown path
Towards all mysteries undone
Towards the absent sun
