  • There's a stormlamp on the table
    Throwing shadows to the gable
    And you swallow if your able
    On a storyteller's night

    From the poorhouse chimes indifferent
    Seven towers seven sisters
    Every blackheart walks the distance
    On a storyteller's night

    Try to sleep on your pillow and dream
    Sleep in God's children to keep
    Though we all lose track of time
    Disappears like faded lines

    Keep your night light burning
    I'll come through the wind and rain
    Keep your night light burning
    I'll be with you once again

    There's a chill wind at your back door
    And the fire cracks on the damp floor
    You hear footsteps but you're not sure
    On a storyteller's night

    See the night sky super nova
    Chase the cold moon passing over
    Start the dragon's fire to smoulder
    On a storyteller's night Writer/s: Tony Clarkin
