Passing To the Night

Darkness comes quite swiftly past the sunset The colors of the day pass to the night Lighthouse begins its passing, no regret The light goes beyond the edge within sight The colors of the day pass to the night And now the fireflies swarm in multitude The light goes beyond the edge within sight Flashing lights however leaves solitude And now the fireflies swarm in multitude While the moon plays secret games with the clouds Flashing lights however leaves solitude Where darkness leads one beyond the black shrouds While the moon plays secret games with the clouds Lighthouse begins its passing, no regret Where darkness leads one beyond the black shrouds Darkness comes quite swiftly past the sunset
