[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
