"Sleeping With The Light On" lyrics - MICHAEL SCHENKER FEST

I remember when we were young
Kids playing wild and free
Ain't no weeping, ain't no sorrows
All these passing years
So why the tears are falling so
While crying deeply
Wondering through a shallow land
With no escape for me

We all dream
Leafless in the forest
The only life
Is drying out in the sun
The same dream
Always there returning
I better run
Better run away

You can leave the light on
If you're afraid of the dark
Sleeping with the light on
To fight back the night is sometimes hard
You can leave the light on
Sleeping with the light on

The sun has left me for too long
My days are painted gray
Memories come rushing in
I wish my love had stayed
Again the tears are falling down
I cry myself to sleep
My heart is heavy in overload
I need a song to weep

This old heart
Keeps the fire burning
The flame
Is lingering deep inside
And the pain
Has always been returning
I better run
Better run away

You can leave the light on
If you're afraid of the dark
Sleeping with the light on
To fight back the night is sometimes hard
You can leave the light on
Sleeping with the light on

I remember when we were young
Kids playing wild and free
Ain't no weeping, ain't no sorrows
All these passing years

I...
Keep this fire burning
Better run
I better run away

You can leave the light on
If you're afraid of the dark
Sleeping with the light on
To fight back the night is sometimes hard
You can leave the light on
Sleeping with the light on

Sleeping with the light on
