lyrics

A man told me stories when my life had but a page.

Now he's like a dream I had, a million miles away.

Trouble always comes in threes and I've seen it go that way.

Threes and six and nines have come and the twelves are on the way.



Tell me a story. Make a happy ending, that would be ok.

Tell me a story. Take me out of my head, cause the dark is on the way.



I went up the dream house and the moon it lit my way.

Keyhole staring back at me like a crazy runaway.

Picking locks like Goldilocks well the bears have moved away.

Take a little hand me down and wash my sins away.



Tell me a story. Make a happy ending, that would be ok.

Tell me a story. Take me out of my head, cause the dark is on the way.



Night time used to be a time when I would dream away.

Slipping off with kings and queens in a magic cabaret.

Now I sit till three o'clock with a T.V. in my way.

Thinking 'bout that man, when I used to say.

Tell me a story. Make a happy ending, that would be ok.

Tell me a story. Take me out of my head, cause the dark is on the way.

Tell me a story.
