I am a voyager, all alone
Underneath the dark stars unknown

The cloudy realm begins to drowse
A heavy shadow drapes the boughs

The night descends in heavy velvet fold

Silent night of the village land Draped in the velvet deep
Over the bamboo canopy

I am a sailor—before me lies a kingdom strange and vast
A city veiled in shadow, a beauty unsurpassed

The silver night of stars—I wake alone
The wind ripples in blue where waves are sown

With eyes of kohl and shadows deep
A broken heart she's pledged to keep

Deep night descends upon the sleeping sea
Lone helmsman, wake!

Since you have no sleep within your eyes
I too have shunned the dark of endless skies
