Electric Light Orchestra - Prologue

Just on the border of your waking mind There lies... Another time Where darkness & light are one And as you tread the halls of sanity You feel so glad to be Unable to go beyond I have a message From another time... The visions dancing in my mind The early dawn, the shades of time Twilight crawling through my windowpane Am I awake or do I dream? The strangest pictures I have seen Night is day and twilight's gone away With your head held high and your scarlet lies You came down to me from the open skies It's either real or it's a dream There's nothing that is in between... CHORUS: Twilight, I only meant to stay awhile Twilight, I gave you time to steal my mind Away from me. Across the night I saw your face You disappeared without a trace You brought me here, but can you take me back? Inside the image of your light That now is day and once was night You lead me here and then you go away. REPEAT CHORUS (You brought me here, but can you take me back again?) With your head held high and your scarlet lies You came down to me from the open skies REPEAT CHORUS Twilight, I only meant to stay awhile Twilight, I only meant to stay awhile Twilight, Twilight, Twilight, Twilight.
