And I'm afraid of the night.
I lay there in bed
And turn out the light.
I lay there awake
Can't sleep now at all.
These thoughts in my head
These thoughts of my fall.
My body is screaming
All it wants now is sleep
But my eyes will not shut
Not even a peep.
I lie here awake
Thinkin bout all I have done
And next thing I know
Up comes the sun.
It's not fair at all
I got nothin to do
My thoughts run wild
Thoughts about you.
I lay here awake
For hours on end
Wonderin bout life
Wonderin what to mend
I'm so tired right now
But I don't want to sleep
Afraid that my thoughts
Are unable to keep.
I lie here awake
Afraid what will come
I can't shut my eyes
My body is numb.
I'm afraid of the dark
And I'm afraid of the night.
I lay here in bed
And turn out the light.
