[Verse 1]
Wreathed in silence, laid down in shades
Swathed in regrets, deluded astray
Forgotten in half-light, drawn in despair
Soothed in slumber so dreadful and fair

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Rending and searing and twisting my dreams
Alone in the gloom with the nightmares unseen

[Chorus - Whispered]
The night has a thousand eyes
And the day but one
Yet the light of the bright world dies
With the dying sun

[Chorus]
The night has a thousand eyes
And the day but one
Yet the light of the bright world dies
With the dying sun

The mind has a thousand eyes
And the heart but one
Yet the light of a whole life dies
When love is done
[Verse 2]
Worthless the pledges, all vows but lies
Fateful her kisses, where a serpent hides
First beckoned to step from the twilight to glare
Then left in the dark for the demons to share

[Chorus - Whispered]
The night has a thousand eyes
And the day but one
Yet the light of the bright world dies
With the dying sun

[Chorus]
The night has a thousand eyes
And the day but one
Yet the light of the bright world dies
With the dying sun

The mind has a thousand eyes
And the heart but one
Yet the light of a whole life dies
When love is done

[Post-Chorus]
Only the stars see
Only the moon hears
Only the stars see
Only the moon
[Bridge]
And quietly the water-lilies sigh
Like the last breath of a weary soul
And the weed sway in the dreary waters
Like a girl's dark hair they wave about

And the black stones under my bare feet
Cold and smooth like her milk-white palm
And the silence which falls upon this shore
Resounds now louder than oncoming storm
For all is gone

[Outro]
Only the stars see
Only the moon hears
Only the stars see
Only the moon hears
Only the moon
