The sun shrinks down into the ground
To let the moon come out.
The sun is done, had its turn
Now it’s time for the moon to learn.
The day will leave and the night will rise
The loudness, clouds, and bright blue sky.
Say goodbye and fade away
Into the traces and remains of day
It’s time for quiet darkness to stay.
The people all go silent
The animals all turn and watch
To see the last of light
Finally fade away.
Like hourglass sand, only lasting a moment,
Then quickly turns to dark.
Now comes the dreaded time
For silence to play its part
Its lonely, cold reign only lasting the night.
But now we can only move on and wait
For the time to arise the following day
It will come, so do not fret,
The bright golden haze of a sunset.
