[Verse 1]

The market is empty, the butcher's gone home

The candles have spent, soon the light will be gone

Soften your brow, dear, breathe slow and deep

Let your eyes close as you drift off to sleep

[Pre-Chorus]

The moon in the window, the sun in the sea

Now is the quiet, just baby and me

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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 bare our hands

To make sure you have all you need in this land

[Pre-Chorus]

The moon in the window, the sun in the sea

Now is the quiet, just baby and me

[Chorus]

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

[Outro]

Protecting, reflecting the sun is enough
