  • Here in the dark, it's funny how I never feel alone
    Do you?
    Here in the shadows, away from the light,
    This darkness under which we hide.
    Like a ghost I can not see
    You’re the shadow behind me.

    You’ll be my night light, there when I go to sleep
    You’ll be my night light, baby when I dream.
    Under the moonlight, shining on the sea,
    You’ll be my night light, watching over me.

    Behind the glass, he’ll never leave
    Let’s meet in when I don’t deserve to be
    Strong when I am here.
    I wish he caught how this heart soul, shadow man
    Will you come for me?
    Like a ghost I can not see
    You’re the shadow behind me.

    You’ll be my night light, there when I go to sleep
    You’ll be my night light, baby when I dream.
    Under the moonlight, shining on the sea,
    You’ll be my night light, watching over me.

    Not the way for us to go
    Tell me where to follow.
    I'm happy to be told
    Happy to be told
    I'm taking it apart for you to see
    I could be falling to pieces
    So let me fall
    Let me fall into your shades

    You’ll be my night light, there when I go to sleep
    You’ll be my night light, baby when I dream.
    Under the moonlight, shining on the sea,
    You’ll be my night light, watching over me.

    Watching over me
