[Verse 1]
There is an eerie silence in this house tonight
I feel the weight of time, the hours pass so slowly
[Verse 2]

[Chorus]
You're in all my dreams
I rush to meet you in the morning
I see your breath, rolling and curling in the cold crisp air
Oh Dandy Star, it's you who carries me through dew-soaked meadows
Out and away from the horror of this place
[Verse 3]
Aunty Betty's in the parlor
Sitting in her favourite chair

I retreat into my mind
And there you are, my Dandy Star
Forever by my side
[Chorus]
You're in all my dreams
I rush to meet you in the morning
I see your breath, rolling and curling in the cold crisp air
Oh Dandy Star, it's you who carries me through dew-soaked meadows
Out and away from the horror of this place
[Chorus]
You're in all my dreams
I rush to meet you in the morning
I see your breath, rolling and curling in the cold crisp air
Oh Dandy Star, it's you who carries me through dew-soaked meadows
(Oh Dandy Star, is you)
I always knew you would return to take me from this place
