Old houses keep you quiet on cold, cold nights.
Hold your breath as you hear footsteps from the hall.
My hands were shaking though the blankets were warm
and there's a stronger current leading you.
Until dawn makes the shadows leave, we'll lie awake.
Stay away from the empty room where Uncle slept.
A small stone horse stares strongly on.
And we were both so scared to go downstairs alone.
I show you pages filling up with my mistakes.
Book of regrets.
But the days ahead haven't been spoiled yet, is what she said.
The days ahead haven't been spoiled yet.
Until dawn makes the shadows leave, we'll lie awake.
Those dreams seem like memories to me now.
So hard to sort out.
Those dreams seem like memories to me now.
So hard to sort out.
Until dawn makes the shadows leave, we'll lie awake.
Until dawn makes the shadows leave, we'll lie awake.
