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
