Lyrics

[Verse 1]

The visions dancin' in my mind, the early dawn, the shades of time

Twilight crawlin' through my windowpane

Am I awake or do I dream the strangest pictures I have seen?

Night is day and twilight's gone away

[Verse 2]

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 a while

Twilight, I gave you time to steal my mind away from me

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

It's either real or it's a dream

There's nothing that is in between

Twilight, twilight

I gave you time to steal my mind away from me

[Verse 5]

You brought me here but can you take me back again?

[Verse 6]

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 a while

Twilight, I gave you time to steal my mind

[Verse 7]

Twilight, I only meant to stay a while

Twilight, I only meant to stay a while

[Verse 8]

Twilight, twilight, twilight, twilight
