A Dream To Live In

A stranger once came to my door
And left the letters behind the corner

Tell me the story, stranger
So I could believe in life again

Don’t know your name
Don’t see your face
But just the voice I hear

You’ve burnt the past of my torn core
Unveiling my eyes to see your soul

You know me not, me neither
Only the heart decides who is the one
And who remains the stranger

Separate me from my pain
Read us apart
I cannot live with it anymore

Dark angel of life walk with me under the stars
Show me the world behind the painted glass

Release me from my bound
I’ve been captivated for too long
Before you came and opened my eyes
I just need some time to catch the truth to which you belong

I live in my own world
Away from the real
With you, my night guest
I’m escaping to better dreams
From all my nightmares

Dark angel of love dance with me in pale moonlight
Paint my hair with stardust and first dew of sunrise

I need something to believe so let me feel
As I’m a dreamer needing a dream to live in
Be the one who shares it with me
