Here in the dark, it's funny how I never feel alone
Do you?
Here in the shadows, away from the light,
This darkness under which we hide.
Like a ghost I can not see
You’re the shadow behind me.

You’ll be my night light, there when I go to sleep
You’ll be my night light, baby when I dream.
Under the moonlight, shining on the sea,
You’ll be my night light, watching over me.

Behind the glass, he’ll never leave
Let’s meet in when I don’t deserve to be
Strong when I am here.
I wish he caught how this heart soul, shadow man
Will you come for me?
Like a ghost I can not see
You’re the shadow behind me.

You’ll be my night light, there when I go to sleep
You’ll be my night light, baby when I dream.
Under the moonlight, shining on the sea,
You’ll be my night light, watching over me.

Not the way for us to go
Tell me where to follow.
I'm happy to be told
Happy to be told
I'm taking it apart for you to see
I could be falling to pieces
So let me fall
Let me fall into your shades

You’ll be my night light, there when I go to sleep
You’ll be my night light, baby when I dream.
Under the moonlight, shining on the sea,
You’ll be my night light, watching over me.

Watching over me
Watching over me
