Passing through the dark
Like silent ships at night
Drifting on the waves to find a beacon
A peaceful harbor
Here you are again, just like so many times before
To share with me the stories of our lives
From you, my friend
I ask just one thing
Shine your light in eventide (eventide)
Companion till all hope has died
Until life and death will reunite
Your song shall guide me through my house of pain
Spiritual oracle
A passenger departs into the vast unknown
Lovingly he reads the final chapter
They ever wrote (they ever wrote)
The company, more comforting
Than words could ever say
Until the ending pages I will stay
From you, my friend
I ask just one thing
Shine your light in eventide (eventide)
Companion till all hope has died
Until life and death will reunite
Your song shall guide me through my house of pain
Spiritual oracle
We did not go quietly into the night
Old friend, now it's time for you and I
To wave our goodbye
I will be there waiting with a smile
When you arrive
I'll shine my light in eventide (eventide)
Companion till all hope has died
Until life and death will reunite
My song shall guide you through my house of pain
