I wrote a tune for this one, don't know if there's a way to upload that.

The waves upon the silken sands  
Are softer than his breath  
Where he lies safe below the palms  
In sleep as deep as death.  
Soon I will rise from here, and go  
Down to the opal shore.  
And I won't fear the sunlight  
Anymore.

I know the taste of warm, clean wind  
That paints the beach sand white.  
I've climbed the cliffs among cool clouds  
In jungles of moonlight.  
Now all my nights have passed me by.  
There's nothing to wait for.  
So I won't fear the sunlight  
Anymore.

Perhaps he will remember me  
Alone upon this isle.  
Perhaps another castaway  
Will teach him how to smile.  
Perhaps he'll wonder where I went  
Beyond where white gulls soar,  
Then he won't fear the sunlight  
Anymore.

But now the east is lightening.  
Each whitecap is aglow.  
What is it sets my heart alight?  
I know. I think I know.  
Day overwhelming rises up  
And I've seen it before,  
So I don't fear the sunlight  
Anymore.
