Lyrics

Dusk, and the shadows falling,
O'er land and sea;
Somewhere a voice is calling,
Calling for me!
Night and the stars are gleaming,
Tender and true;
Dearest! my heart is dreaming,
Dreaming of you!

gollark: Hello, people of Earth.
gollark: Hi possible potatOS users!
gollark: Outrageous.
gollark: I'll get on IMMEDIATELY, within 6 to 8 weeks.
gollark: Who took all 6000 MELON™? Why is the autofarmer not autofarming it? Mysterious.
