Night Song

i cannot sleep dark is the night
i'm tired and alone
without love and hope and light
there's nothing left but moan

i cannot sleep and i'm afraid
not knowing what will be
i'm tired and the day is late
night grows beyond the sea

night is coming with thousand dreams
and life is better than it seems
not that dark and deep

stars are falling and i cry
fear grows up and fear goes by 
and i fall asleep.
