Nikki Layne – Left Waiting (Itchigotchi & Francis Vace Cover)

Fairies flitter on the fringes,
Tiny coals glow in the dark
Even though you have been injured,
Know the future’s not so stark 

Fragile seashells shine and glisten,
Ghostly waves wash them ashore 
Underwater you can listen,
To the oceans lion roar 

I can see a crystal tower,
Sharp and clear against the sky 
Where not every snowdrop flower,
Has to hold its head up high 

Wooden gates into the kingdom,
King of rats and queen of mice 
Maybe no-one comes to see them,
But their tableware is nice 

Don’t say goodnight
I’d rather be left waiting 
How can you leave
When everything’s so crazy 
Its not goodbye
Its a picture perfect painting 
I’ll fall asleep
But the story will go on 

You know sometimes when I’m dreaming,
I can’t read, but I can fly 
I guess I don’t know its meaning,
Its not real, but I’ll still try 

Try to soar across the ocean,
Riding music notes and breeze 
Skim the leaf-tips till they’re low and,
Do whatever things we please 

Cold and crystal crumbling fortress,
Pulling swords from casks of wine 
Slipping drunk on frozen doorsteps,
Maybe I’ll dub thee as mine 

Don’t say goodnight
I’d rather be left waiting 
How can you leave
When everything’s so crazy 
It’s not goodbye
It’s a picture perfect painting 
I'll fall asleep
But the story will go on 

Don’t say goodnight 
I’d rather be left waiting
