Flowers of the Night

[00:33.20] Wondrous gleam of the summer night
[00:37.02] Sneaks in through the windowpane
[00:41.53] I hear the cuckoo's calling
[00:45.58] As I lay by her side
[00:49.67] By the grace of the one true God
[00:53.55] By the providence of Christ
[00:57.69] I have found the golden maiden
[01:01.63] I have found the fairest one
[01:05.67] I will fold her into my arms
[01:09.66] I will wipe away her tears
[01:13.55] I will keep her safe from all the harm
[01:17.53] Forevermore
[01:21.75]
[01:37.65] The flowers of the night
[01:41.14] Only open up to the dark
[01:45.70] I hear them whispering
[01:49.66] As I lay by her side
[01:53.47] How did I deserve this mirth?
[01:57.61] How did I find this bliss?
[02:01.28] Hallowed glow will shine upon her brow
[02:05.25] Forevermore
[02:14.41] But the colder winds will rise
[02:18.53] And the autumn gloom awaits
[02:22.71] For the seed inside won't grow
[02:26.68] No child is on the way
[02:31.09] The winter of despair
[02:34.89] And the silence of the nights
[02:38.70] Slowly will take their toll
[02:42.72] Slowly will freeze our hearts
[02:47.34]
[03:18.73] With tears in her eyes
[03:22.58] She repeats the mother's words
[03:27.05] Even the hounds will bark
[03:30.74] When such a thing is near
[03:34.60] Salt-ridden is this soil
[03:38.69] And shrivelled is the womb
[03:42.72] A stain on our good name
[03:46.78] Forevermore
[03:49.55]
[04:21.75] The flowers of the night
[04:25.32] Only open up to the dark
[04:29.81] I hear them whispering
[04:33.72] As I lay by her side
[04:39.79] By the grace of the one true God
[04:43.88] By the providence of Christ
[04:47.25] Have I found the golden maiden?
[04:51.64] Have I found the fairest one?
[04:55.41] I will fold her into my arms
[04:59.75] I will wipe away her tears
[05:03.60] I will keep her safe from all the harm
[05:07.58] Forevermore
[05:11.76]
