Inspired loosely by Svalbard, Norway, where it is not unusual for it to be dark 22 hours a day, and for the remaining 2 hours to be a sort of twilight. I imagined what it would be like to be without sunlight, and how that would feel like the loss of a lov

Lyrics

you rise
just to leave me
like the promise
of a day gone

I wonder if I even care

drop down
and it's over
and I face another
lonely

night comes for me a bit too soon

darkness
and I wonder are you coming back to me
darkness
was the light that you gave to me all in my mind

darkness
how I long to embrace you alone again
darkness
I will fall down before you like I'm going blind

lie still
quiet falling
like the velvet
of the evening

I'm broken and alone again

darkness
and I wonder are you coming back to me
darkness
was the light that you gave to me all in my mind

darkness
how I long to embrace you alone again
darkness
I will fall down before you like I'm going blind

Honor calls for days return
once again the dawn
lift the veil surrounding me
gazing down upon

darkness
and I wonder are you coming back to me
darkness
was the light that you gave to me all in my mind

darkness
how I long to embrace you alone again
darkness
I will fall down before you like I'm going blind
