longing dawn

i want to scream out loud

no, no, can't tell no one

besides, who'd listen?

it's too late anyway

the day is gone

the night rules now

and when the night rules, no single soul is awake

i want to go out for a stroll

no, no, can't go out now

besides, who'd you go with?

it's too late anyway

the day is gone

the night rules now

and when the night rules, nobody's out strolling in the alleys

i want to play outside

no, no, that you can't do either

besides, who'd you play with?

it's too late anyway

the day is gone

the night rules now

and when the night rules, the only ones playing outside are the cold dark shadows

i want to play some music

no, no, don't you even think of plucking that lute

besides, who'd you play it to?

it's too late anyway

the day is gone

the night rules now

and when the night rules, music is only allowed for the dead

is there anything i can do?

even when the night rules now?

yes, yes, there's one...

what is it? please do tell...

you must wait

wait until the night departs

dark becomes light

the moon hides, the sun shines

only then you can bring about what you're set to do

but the day is still a few stars away

how should i wait until then?

lie down, cover yourself with your quilt

close your eyes, and dream of the brightest days

where the sun is shining

the birds are singing

and when you open your eyes, the dawn will arrive

and not long after, the day will rule again
