Waiting on my slumber
They rest upon my pane
My tiny moonbeam friends
Clinging to my rain
 And when I lift my shade
  They quietly fall through
   They land upon my wall
    Sparkling of blue
     And when I cry
      They sing to me
       My little lunar friends

For every hurt my heart can feel
They try to make amends
One of them I know
I call him by his name
He has a special cause
To keep this child insane
 They make me warm inside
  When everything is cold
   My heart is burning young
    My mind grows old

     The painted stage
      It comes alive at night
       When all the world is dead

And I become the sole audience
And they linger in my head
Now follow me my loves
Everywhere I go
Shine on every hair
My oxy and nitro

 We have the world tonight
  So keep me company
   And when the sun comes
    We will be history

     Now watch me in my troubled sleep
      My spirits of the night
       And be nocturnal for me still

Be gone with the light
Be gone with the light
