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
