Lyric

The temptation of three in the afternoon

A sweet surrender under the sun’s high noon

It’s the hour when the gates of sleep swing wide

And the kingdom of dreams calls me inside

Resistance fades like a mist in the air

Closing my eyes without a single care

Falling deep where the shadows are kind

Leaving the waking world far behind

The melody my heart begins to play

Is your voice, washing the world away

Wrapped in your warmth, a gentle embrace

I find my sanctuary, I find my place

Even if I wake and forget it all

The way I felt, the way I let myself fall

In this fleeting peace where the quiet winds blow

Love is slumbering, letting everything go

Just let it go

The melancholy of three in the afternoon

A graceful sorrow humming a lonely tune

It’s the hour when the gates of sleep swing wide

And I have no choice but to step inside

There is no cure for the loneliness I feel

So I close the world to make the vision real

Falling deep into the velvet night

Shutting out the heavy, blinding light

The melody my heart begins to play

Is your voice, keeping the ghosts at bay

Whispering words from a memory lane

Soothing the ache and the lingering pain

Even if I wake and forget it all

The way I felt, the way I let myself fall

In this fleeting peace where the quiet winds blow

Love is slumbering, letting everything go

Just let it go

When I open my eyes, the dream may depart

But the peace remains deep inside my heart

In this moment of rest, in this golden light

Love is slumbering

Until the night
