Three Imaginary Boys Lyrics
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?
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?
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
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?
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...
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?

I personally think that the title "Three Imaginary Boys" may have some connection to the three members of the Cure in the early days. This song seems very haunting, almost like someone is following the character in it--perhaps a ghost. Whatever it's about is very chilling.
i agree with theexplodinggirl. you gotta love this song . . .
perfect...

@Phalloustots The three imaginary boys are Robert Smith, Lol Tolhurst and Michael Dempsey

weren't there three boys in the band when this was created..
sorry that was mentioned all ready, i just read all these comments before and left thinking Phalloustots had a good realization, but now both I will keep in mind
I feel a lot of loneliness in this song.
Go to Wikipedia and look up "The Cure". You will learn that The Cure had many members come and go before they acually became known as "The Cure". They had different names for the band too. And This was the original album title (Three Imaginary Boys) for "Boys Dont Cry". "Boys Dont Cry" was the name for the american release; it was released in 1980 instead of 1979.
