Lyrics
Now the time has come again when
Reflecting on a recurring time in life
All your work is done
Pointing out that all tasks are completed
And you need to rest awhile although
Expressing a need for rest despite recent efforts
It seems you've just begun
Contrasting the feeling of just starting with the need for rest
Come lie here beside me
Inviting someone to be close and share burdens
We can lay our burdens down
Suggesting a moment to release worries
Let the battle rage outside 'cause we've
Indicating external challenges while finding inner peace
Found our peace for now
Emphasizing the discovery of temporary tranquility
We're here together such a
Highlighting a brief period spent together
Short time it's true
Acknowledging the fleeting nature of the moment
(Won't you please) Turn out the light
Requesting to turn off the light
Kiss me good night
Asking for a goodnight kiss
And the let the darkness shine through
Suggesting finding solace in the darkness
I can see as your eyes close
Observing the weariness as eyes close
What a rough day you've had
Assuring comfort in the narrator's arms
But one night in my arms will show
Promising that time together can improve perspective
That things aren't really so bad
Highlighting the positive aspect of challenging experiences
The dark side's a blessing when you
Viewing the dark side as a source of strength
Have done all you can
Accepting the inability to change the past
I can't change the past now but we
Encouraging dreams of a better future
Can dream of a sweeter land
Rejecting the need for artificial light
We don't need electric light
Stating independence from electric lighting
Because the moon is full and bright
Noting the brightness of the full moon
We got our own electricity
Claiming a personal source of energy
I can feel it when you're close to me
Sensing a special connection when close
