[Verse 1] He drapes dark velvet over the world. He is the one who counts the silver stars at night. His breath is the cool and gentle wind, in whose embrace all dreams lie safe. He reigns in moonlight, lonely and far away, trapped within his own darkness. [Verse 2] She still lies sleeping in the moss, embraced by soft greenery, where wildflowers bloom in the shade. Branches weave through her hair. She is the first ray of sunlight to break through the thicket. She is the light that falls softly on the earth as soon as the night has passed. [Chorus] We are day and night, so far apart, with love burning between the tides. Only at dawn do we find each other, and only for one brief moment, while dew still lies upon the blades of grass and the sky paints itself in the colors of dawn. [Verse 3] The night fades, and his cloak of stars recedes as his cold hand brushes against the warmth of her life. They meet in the grass, still damp, where eternity is forgotten with every kiss. The world falls still, the mist begins to rise, and a golden gate opens for a moment. [Verse 4] The first birds begin to sing softly, a sign that he can stay no longer. The dew upon their bodies glistens like gold. It is their fate to have only this one moment. And she will always remain behind in the bright sunlight, while he quietly retreats into the shadows. [Bridge] Only one moment keeps us alive when his darkness falls across the morning. The blackbird sings our sad song. Its notes drift gently through the leaves, softly carried on the wind. We die for one another every day because no night can ever conquer the light. [Chorus] We are day and night, so far apart, with love burning between the tides. Only at dawn, for one brief moment, does our love find its greatest joy. At dawn, where the dew still lies upon the blades of grass... Lyrics copyright 06/2026 Kati Weber All rights reserved
