I can't count the days I've roamed A stray ghost liked to wither on the vine A paling tale of days long gone I won't be until you close your eyes Sleep tight, someone's always by your side A thousand nights we've been calling your name Close your eyes but I won't go away We're there for you The cold embrace that you don't wanna feel Must not be... but you know it is real! We're there for you Don't you waste your time and try To understand this figment of the lie Don't breathe a word to anyone By the time you'll phrase me I'll be gone Sweet dreams, see you in the twilight zone A thousand nights we've been calling your name Close your eyes but I won't go away We're there for you The cold embrace that you don't wanna feel Must not be... but you know it is real We're there for you God I must contain the wayward fantasy And where did all those wicked dreams come from Pictures in the dark They seem so eerily real tonight I pray my mind is wrong I'm the spark they refuse to conceive A thousand nights we've been calling your name Close your eyes but I won't go away We're there for you The cold embrace that you don't wanna feel Must not be... but you know it is real We're there for you
