Twilight lyrics

The visions dancing in my mind

The early dawn, the shades of time

Twilight crawling through my window pane.

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

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.

Twilight, I only meant to stay awhile

Twilight, I gave you time to steal my mind

Away from me.

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

It's either real or it's a dream

There's nothing that is in between.

Twilight, I only meant to stay awhile

Twilight, I gave you time to steal my mind

Away from me.

Twilight, I only meant to stay awhile

Twilight, I only meant to stay awhile

Twilight, Twilight, Twilight, Twilight.
