"On A Storyteller's Night"

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
