here'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 nightlight burning - I’ll come through wind and rain Keep your nightlight 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 supernova Chase the cold moon passing over
