Boy and the Ghost

Tarja Turunen

The streets are empty
Inside it's warm
His hands are shaking
They locked the door
A voice is calling asking to get in

All he wanted was a toy
All he needed was a gentle heart
To lead him through the dark
When his dreams are running wild
Boy and the ghost
Fire's not burning
The lights went out
The lights went out

Big family dinner
The untold pain
Their eyes are sparkling on his frozen face
Angel's calling asking to get in

All he wanted was a toy
All he needed was a gentle heart
To lead him through the dark
When there's nowhere left to fall
Boy and the ghost
His eyes are burning
The lights went out
The dream is on

Wake up, wake up
There's an angel in the snow
Look up, look up
It's a frightened dead boy
With so much hate, such bad dreams
He could have seen (could have seen)
The toy's the key (toy's the key)
But no one saw (no one saw)
No one saw

All he wanted was a toy
All he needed was a bleeding heart
To lead him through the dark
Boy and the ghost

When there's nowhere left to fall
Nowhere to hide
The silence is hurting
Inside it's cold
Sleep or die
Nowhere to go
Nowhere to hide

His light went out
