Night lays to rest, sleep for a heart that's fading
In waning light, At graveside she is waiting
Waiting for the ghosts by her side
Waiting for the Dawn's final light
Amidst angels she finds serenity
Amidst crosses, she nurtures tranquility
She sits waiting for the light to shine
Beyond the pale she waits for life
Shine down, Shine down
O, Great Eye of Autumn
Herald the cemetery dawn
Shine down, Shine down
Ask not for the prayers of angels
Death waits just for one,
She waits for me
Through clouds it wept, A sun weeping rays from Heaven
A forlorn light kisses an ancient tree
Looking up the maiden smiles, reaching out
As a lonely boy dances to the sound of falling leaves
Shine down, Shine down
O, Great Eye of Autumn
Herald the cemetery dawn
Shine down, Shine down
Ask not for the prayers of angels
Death waits just for one,
She waits for me
She takes a hand, already blue like winter skies
She kisses tears from eyes eternally asleep
She welcomes me, this lonely boy
And we danced forever in love for eternity
Shine down, Shine down
O, Great Eye of Autumn
Herald the cemetery dawn
Shine down, Shine down
Ask not for the prayers of angels
Death waits just for one,
She waits for me
Shine down, Shine down
O, Great Eye of Autumn
Herald the cemetery dawn
Shine down, Shine down
Ask not for the prayers of angels
Death waits just for one,
She waits for me
