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 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 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 nightlight burning - I'll come through wind and rain Keep your nightlight burning - I'll be with you once again Keep your nightlight burning - I'll come through wind and rain Keep your nightlight 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 nightlight burning - I'll come through wind and rain Keep your nightlight burning - I'll be with you once again Keep your nightlight burning - I'll come through wind and rain Keep your nightlight burning - I'll be with you once again
