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 tale
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 the toy's the key
But 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
