The visions dancing in my mind
the early dawn, the shades of time
twilight crawling through my windowpane
am i awake or do i dream?
the strangest pictures i have seen
night is day and twilight's gone away
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...

[chorus:]
twilight, i only meant to stay awhile
twilight, i gave you time to steal my mind
away from me.

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.

[repeat chorus]
(you brought me here, but can you take me back again?)
With your head held high and your scarlet lies
you came down to me from the open skies
[repeat chorus]
Twilight, i only meant to stay awhile
twilight, i only meant to stay awhile
twilight, twilight, twilight, twilight.
