Close your heavy eyes, my precious one
|
Close them oh so tight, my darling one
|
The demons on the wall dance for you now
|
Their fingers stretch and claw to reach you
|
Run from demons, nightmare creatures
|
Laughing men of longest limb
|
Hide your feelings, ask forgiveness
|
Pray that they won't take you in
|
In the night's cold air you hear a call
|
Has he said his prayers and blessed the poor?
|
A thousand voices whisper to you so .
|
You hide your head beneath the pillow
|
Be a good boy now, don't suck your thumb
|
Will it be there still when morning comes?
|
I'd like to tell you life is carefree but
|
Those who're naughty should be wary and...
