There’s a storm lamp on the table, throwing shadows to the gable And you swallow if you’re able, on a storyteller’s night From the poorhouse, chimes indifferent, seven towers, seven sisters Every black heart walks the distance, on a storyteller’s night
Try to sleep on your pillow and dream Sleep, all god’s children to keep Though we all lose track of time Disappears like faded lines
Keep your night-light burning - I’ll come through wind and rain Keep your night-light burning - I’ll be with you once again
There’s a chill wind at your back door and the fire cracks on the damp floor You hear footsteps but you’re not sure, on a storyteller’s night See the night sky super nova, chase the cold moon passing over Start the dragon’s fire to smoulder, on a storyteller’s night
Try to sleep on your pillow and dream Sleep, all god’s children to keep Though we all lose track of time Disappears like faded lines
Keep your night-light burning - I’ll come through wind and rain, yeah! Keep your night-light burning - I’ll be with you once again Oh, keep your night-light burning - I’ll come through wind and rain, yeah! Keep your night-light burning - I’ll be with you once again
(Solo de guitarra)
Try to sleep on your pillow and dream Sleep, all god’s children to keep Though we all lose track of time Disappears like faded lines
Keep your night-light burning - I’ll come through wind and rain, yeah! Keep your night-light burning - I’ll be with you once again Keep your night-light burning - oh, I’ll come through wind and rain, yeah! Keep your night-light burning - I’ll be with you once again
Keep your night-light burning - I’ll see through wind and rain, yeah! Keep your night-light burning - I’ll be with you once again Keep your night-light burning - I’ll come through wind and rain, yeah! Keep your night-light burning - I’ll be with you once again
