C                           Bb/C
  The visions dancing in my mind 

                              Fm/C
The early dawn, the shades of time 

                             C      Csus4
Twilight crawling through my windowpane 

C                    Bb/C
  Am I awake or do I dream? 

                              Fm/C
The strangest pictures I have seen 

                            C     Csus4
Night is day and twilight's gone away
[Bridge]

[LINK]  With your head held high and your scarlet lies 

         C                   F
You came down to me from the open skies 

     G              G/F
It's either real or it's a dream 

        G/E             G/D
There's nothing that is in between...
[Chorus]
C        Caug        F              Fm
Twilight,    I only meant to stay awhile 

Dm      Bb/F            G                G/B
Twilight,    I gave you time to steal my mind

Away from me   [Intro]
[Verse 2]
C                              Bb/C
   Across the night I saw your face 

                          Fm/C
You disappeared without a trace 

                                 C       Csus4
You brought me here, but can you take me back? 

C                           Bb/C
   Inside the image of your light 

                             Fm/C
That now is day and once was night 

                              C   Csus4    [LINK]
You lead me here and then you go away.
