Lyrics:
Silent ev'ning
Falls in a mist
On a distant hill,
The voices of day are still
And I'm alone.

Silent waiting,
While the romances of fancy
Fill the world that I own,
When I am alone.

Refrain

In the heart of the dark,
I know a dream's on its way
To bring me to you.

And soon you arrive,
The moon in your hair,
The night is alive,
While you are there,
In the heart of the dark.

I know the sun's on its way
To steal my dream;
I know that you
Will fade in the light
And all I can do
Is wait for the night.

Repeat from refrain
