The visions dancing in my mind
|
The early dawn, the shades of time
|
Twilight crawling through my windowpane
|
Am I awake or do I dream?
|
The strangest pictures I have seen
|
Night is day and twilight's gone away
|
|
With your head held high and your scarlet lies
|
You came down to me from the open skies
|
It's either real or it's a dream
|
There's nothing that is in between...
|
|
CHORUS:
|
Twilight, I only meant to stay awhile
|
Twilight, I gave you time to steal my mind
|
Away from me.
|
|
Across the night I saw your face
|
You disappeared without a trace
|
You brought me here, but can you take me back?
|
Inside the image of your light
|
That now is day and once was night
|
You lead me here and then you go away.
|
|
REPEAT CHORUS
|
|
(You brought me here, but can you take me back again?)
|
|
With your head held high and your scarlet lies
|
You came down to me from the open skies
|
|
REPEAT CHORUS
|
|
Twilight, I only meant to stay awhile
|
Twilight, I only meant to stay awhile
|
Twilight, Twilight, Twilight, Twilight.
