Wished we ran and lived as one
In another world my little one
Where strange trees and dark rivers run
I told a dream to you
Now outside the streets of pain
And the childhood games we play
Have faded away
But my baby, she has restless night
She has restless night
My baby, she has restless nights
On late night movie screens
Young lovers look so sure
Lost in wide awake dreams
That they can't afford
Once I held you in my arms
On a bed of stone
Now we have grown (but darling)
But my baby, she has restless night
She has restless night
My baby, she has restless nights
Wished we ran and lived as one
A different world my little one
Where strange trees and dark rivers run
I told a dream to you
Now outside the streets of pain
But here inside my heart
It all falls apart
But my baby, she has restless night
She has restless night
My baby, she has restless nights
But my baby, she has restless night
She has restless night
My baby, she has restless nights
