Midnight winds are landing at the end of time
Midnight winds are landing at the end of time
A true story wants to be mine
A true story wants to be mine
The story is telling a true lie
The story is telling a true lie
Mandolins are ringing to his viol singing
Mandolins are ringing to his viol singing
Midnight winds are landing at the end of time
Midnight winds are landing at the end of time
Dungeons sink in to a slumber
Till the end of time
Dungeons sink in to a slumber
Till the end of time petrel sings
The doorbells pound into the
Unlit end of time petrel sings
The doorbells pound into the
Unlit end of time
Midnight winds are landing at the end of time
Midnight winds are landing at the end of time
In the morning of my winter
When my eyes are still asleep
In the morning of my winter
When my eyes are still asleep
A dragonfly lady in a coat of snow
I'll send to kiss your heart for me
A dragonfly lady in a coat of snow
I'll send to kiss your heart for me
Midnight winds are landing at the end of time
Midnight winds are landing at the end of time
The children are jumping in
The evening of light
The children are jumping in
The evening of light
The peasants' hands are heavy in
The evening of light
The peasants' hands are heavy in
The evening of light
Midnight winds are landing at the end of time
Midnight winds are landing at the end of time
Midnight winds are landing at the end of time
A true story wants to be mine
A true story wants to be mine
The story is telling a true lie
The story is telling a true lie
Mandolins are ringing to his viol singing
Mandolins are ringing to his viol singing
Midnight winds are landing at the end of time
Midnight winds are landing at the end of time
Dungeons sink in to a slumber
Till the end of time
Dungeons sink in to a slumber
Till the end of time petrel sings
The doorbells pound into the
Unlit end of time petrel sings
The doorbells pound into the
Unlit end of time
Midnight winds are landing at the end of time
Midnight winds are landing at the end of time
In the morning of my winter
When my eyes are still asleep
In the morning of my winter
When my eyes are still asleep
A dragonfly lady in a coat of snow
I'll send to kiss your heart for me
A dragonfly lady in a coat of snow
I'll send to kiss your heart for me
Midnight winds are landing at the end of time
Midnight winds are landing at the end of time
The children are jumping in
The evening of light
The children are jumping in
The evening of light
The peasants' hands are heavy in
The evening of light
The peasants' hands are heavy in
The evening of light
Midnight winds are landing at the end of time
Midnight winds are landing at the end of time

I think this song is about the ruins of Berlin after the second world war ended and where Nico had spent some of her childhood. I think the whole idea of an Evening of Light, conjoures up an evening, illuminated by falling and exploding bombs. There is a lot of imagary that suggests endings, such as the line "End of Time" "Morning of my Winter" kind of like the winter days of Berlin and Germany as it fell.
It further makes sense with the final verse. The children jumping in the evening of light is about children fleeing the terror and the thousands sins being heavy is the mayhem going on and no doubt people who are taking advantage of the mayhem to commit sins of their own.
