Eyes wide shut in another world
Sleeping tight was a lonely boy
Shifting stars on the ceiling wall
There's a night light breathing there
Reaching out to the land of the lord from the dark in my room
Screaming out for the light of the soul to be gone from the world that I'm in

You were the nightlight
Searching for sunlight here
You were the nightlight
Born at the sight of a tear

At the sight of a tear

Toss and turn sheets are sliding down
Won't awake til the light is found
Conscious mind went to say goodbye
Now this dream is floating on
Just as I turn and hide from the man I am struck by a light from the moon
Guiding me like a knight shining back to my world filled with love scented wounds

You were the nightlight
Searching for sunlight here
You were the nightlight
Born at the sight of a tear
