There's a stormlamp on the table

Throwing shadows to the gable

And you swallow if your able

On a storyteller's night



From the poorhouse chimes indifferent

Seven towers seven sisters

Every blackheart walks the distance

On a storyteller's night



Try to sleep on your pillow and dream

Sleep in 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 the 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
