The market is empty
The butcher's gone home
The candles have spent - soon the light will be gone
Soften your brow, dear
Breath slow and deep
Let your eyes close as you drift off to sleep

The moon in the window
The sun in the sea
Now is the quiet - just baby and me

And the sun will sleep in the ocean tonight
And the cool of the water makes everything right
And the ocean once dreamed it could shine high above
But protecting, reflecting the sun is enough

We used to go dancing
We used to drink wine
We used to buy flowers and now we buy time
Mommy and daddy would work bear our hands
To make sure you have all you need in this land

The moon in the window
The sun in the sea
Now is the quiet - just baby and me
And the sun will sleep in the ocean tonight
And the cool of the water makes everything right
And the ocean once dreamed it could shine high above
But protecting, reflecting the sun is enough

And the sun will sleep in the ocean tonight
And the cool of the water makes everything right
And the ocean once dreamed it could shine high above
But protecting, reflecting the sun is enough
Protecting, reflecting the sun is enough
