It’s been a long, cold, lonely night
I’ve been lost in the shadows of the past
I fell into abyss,
of these dark-dark thoughts

The guiding stars were there all along
I had shut my eyes so tight, I had!
I’d missed to see them,
blind as I was…

You’ve been searching for me in the day
as I’ve been looking for you in the night
will our paths ever cross,
will we ever unite?

These hearts, they cannot connect
we’ve got to meet at a point,
but don’t you cross over,
be lost in these forests of the night.

Meet me there,
my lost-lost love
at the end of the night,
at the beginning of light…

Wait for me there, my sweet
at the brink of time,
where the shadows cross over to the light.
Meet me at Dawn.
