♫ Verse 1:
D
Twilight falls, ghostly the hands
                   Bb
That reach out for you
D

Through the mist of these alien lands
A         Bb          F       C
Swallowed away on the road to forever
D
Like a storm the wraith of advance
D
Forced its will upon you

Sacred yesterdays, lucid and vast
A                Bb      F      C
Blink of an eye it's all coming together
Bb
Like a relic of a long bygone time
G                                          C
Moonflowers grow from the back of your mind
A
Hold on, yeah  (Fire in the night)


♫ Chorus:
Bm            G              Bm
I see ghosts, spectres light around me
D
Vivid and stark, a blaze in the dark
Em
Fire in the night
Bm          G               Bm
One by one, pictures gather round me
G           A           G    A
Where those moonflowers used to grow
D
Lost no more, spectres gather round here
Bm               A                  G A
Vivid and stark, a blaze in the dark
Bm              G              Bm
Night by night, stare into the black
Em  F#m     Gm   Bm Am
Moonflowers used to grow


♫ Verse 2:
D
As I walk through the mist
                         Bb
Down the ruins of things that used to be
D
Silent remnants of magical times
A            Bb
A cabinet of curiosities
D
Old companions and past Christmas ghosts

A            Bb
Juvenile levity
D
Sacred gatherings, pictures of days
A         Bb          F       C
Swallowed away on the road to forever
Bb
A covert society buried in time
G
Once bent on survival

Now kicked out of line
A
Oh
I hold on  (A fire in the night)

Where those moonflowers used to grow

Vivid and stark, a blaze in the dark

Night by night, stare into the black

A
And quite suddenly
           G
Just as if somebody slammed the door

Bb           F
Halcyon days buried in halcyon lore
D
As silence prevails
C
Fragments come passing me by
               Bb
Slipping right through
          A
A crevice in time, oh  (Fire in the night)
