Text  
Twilight, time to dream a while, prevails the deeping gloom.
As fantasy strides over colorful skies, the port disappearing from view.
a
In twilight time, dream/be with me a while. (2x) b
A nightingale plays a dark mellow phrase with tones that are so rich and so true.
An Arial display by the firefly brigade, dancing to tunes no one knew.
c
Building castles in the air, whispering to the wind,
As nature bows down her head, see what tomorrow brings.
d
Back stage to wait while puppets on strings prance in the cool evening air.
In a sightless glide, no reason to hide away from the sun's blinding stare.
