Three Imaginary Boys
Words by Robert Smith
Walk across the garden
In the footsteps of my shadow
See the lights out
No-one’s home
In amongst the statues
Stare
At nothing in the garden moves…
Can you help me?
Close my eyes and hold so tightly
Scared of what the morning brings
Waiting for tomorrow
Never comes
Deep inside
The empty feeling
All the night time leaves me
Three imaginary boys
Slipping through the door
Hear my heart beat in the hallway
Echoes
Round and round
Inside my head
Drifting up the stairs
I see the steps behind me
Disappearing…
Can you help me?
Close my eyes and hold so tightly
Scared of what the morning brings
Waiting for tomorrow
Never comes
Deep inside
The empty feeling
All the night time leaves me
Three imaginary boys
Sing
In my sleep
Sweet child
The moon will change your mind…
See the cracked reflection
Standing
Still before the bedroom mirror
Over my shoulder
But no one’s there
Whispers in the silence
Pressing close behind me
Pressing close
Behind…
Can you help me?
Can you help me?
