The Haunting
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I can't count the days I've roamed
A stray ghost light 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 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 my wayward fantasy
And where do 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
