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
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 seek you the 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
