Follow the light that glows

Through your bedroom window.

Tonight, tonight, the fading twilight.

There's a hollow deep in the woods

Where you know you're crazy
B E A E B
To go, to go, not even meant to know
A B
There are...

Pictures in the dark, I see all around.

Voices calling underground
And I'm watching the stars since the

One, two, three.

Clocks are ticking the night away.

You can only fly until dawn ascends.
