Nightwish - Storytime lyrics

rate me

‘Twas the night before

When all through the world

No words, no dreams, then one day

A writer by a fire

Imagined all Gaia

Took a journey into a child-man’s heart

A painter on the shore

Imagined all the world

Within a snowflake on his palm

Unframed by poetry

A canvas of awe

Planet Earth falling back into the stars

I am the voice of Never-Never land

The innocence, the dreams of every man

I am the empty crib of Peter Pan

A silent kite against the blue, blue sky

Every chimney, every moonlit sight

I am the story that will read you real

Every memory that you hold dear

I am the journey

I am the destination

I am the home

The tale that reads you

A way to taste the night

The elusive high

Follow the madness

Alice, you now once did

Imaginarium

A dream emporium

Caress the tales

And they will dream you real

A storyteller’s game

Lips that intoxicate

The core of all life is a

Limitless chest of tales

I am the voice of Never-Never land

The innocence, the dreams of every man

I am the empty crib of Peter Pan

A silent kite against the blue, blue sky

Every chimney, every moonlit sight

I am the story that will read you real

Every memory that you hold dear

I am the voice of Never-Never land

The innocence, the dreams of every man

Searching heavens for another Earth
