Bring me the sunset in a cup
And a waterfall in a pail

I want to hold the rain in my hands
With the thunder as my foot steps

White midnight tears fall from the sky
With only the broken dirt to absorb it

The lightening strike, brightens the sky
As the mountains crumble down to it

None of the creatures dare to move
When the silence is endless

Bring me the sunset in a cup
Because the night is too hard to bear
