[Verse 1]

In a dream a long long time ago

I came across a nameless tombstone

As I moved on, I felt so fallen

So many years now passed on

With each year, the more crestfallen

And the worst is yet to come

[Chorus]

On a night in mid December

I gaze at the fading lights

For as long as I remember

I was at one with the night

On and on, forever and ever on

Further down the unknown path

Towards all mysteries undone

Towards the absent sun

[Verse 2]

Like a drеam I lost some time ago

Like a star that long sincе lost its glow

Summer's gone, the snow keeps falling

Here at the winter's heart

As the dawn now looms before me

Behold the winter sun

[Chorus]

On a night in mid December

I gaze at the fading lights

For as long as I remember

I was at one with the night

On and on, forever and ever on

Further down the unknown path

Towards all mysteries undone

Towards the absent sun

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

As we all cling on to the light

As we fall, we pass into the night

[Chorus]

On a night in mid December

I gaze at the fading lights

For as long as I remember

I was at one with the night

On and on, forever and ever on

Further down the unknown path

Towards all mysteries undone

Towards the absent sun

On a night in mid December

I gaze at the fading lights

For as long as I remember

I was at one with the night

On and on, forever and ever on

Further down the unknown path

Towards all mysteries undone

Towards the absent sun
