  • "Don't look don't look" the shadows breathe
    Whispering me away from you
    "Don't wake at night to watch her sleep
    You know that you will always lose
    This trembling
    Adored
    Tousled bird mad girl"
    But every night I burn
    But every night I call your name
    Every night I burn
    Every night I fall again

    "Oh don't talk of love" the shadows purr
    Murmuring me away from you
    "Don't talk of worlds that never were
    The end is all that's ever true
    There's nothing you can ever say
    Nothing you can ever do"
    Still every night I burn
    Every night I scream your name
    Every night I burn
    Every night the dream's the same
    Every night I burn
    Waiting for my only friend
    Every night I burn
    Waiting for the world to end

    "Just paint your face" the shadows smile
    Slipping me away from you
    "Oh it doesn't matter how you hide
    Find you if we're wanting to
    So slide back down and close your eyes
    Sleep a while
    You must be tired"
    But every night I burn
    Every night I call your name
    Every night I burn
    Every night I fall again
    Every night I burn
    Scream the animal scream
    Every night I burn
    Dream the crow black dream

    Every night I burn
    Scream the animal scream
    Every night I burn
    Dream the crow black dream

    Dream the crow black dream
    Dream the crow black dream
    Dream the crow black dream
    Dream the crow black dream Writer/s: Boris Williams, Perry Bamonte, Robert James Smith, Simon Johnathon Gallup
