Tonight I'm Afraid of the Dark
Tonight, I’m afraid of being alone.Please open the window and listen to the sound of the windPeople don’t take care of mePlease don’t leave me until I fall asleep.
Catch that wriggling bug for meMake sure to crush the tissue you use and throw it outside the window, pleaseToday I’m just not strong at allI just want to listen to the lullabies you sing for meWhile holding me in your arms just for tonight
Tonight, I’m afraid of sleeping aloneIt seems like there’s something there in the small roomJust wait a minute. I’m not normally like thisPlease don’t leave the house until I’ve fallen asleep
I’m not sure, please lock the front gateWhen you come back turn off the light and leave the door halfway openToday I’m just not strong at allJust for tonight, I want you to hold me
If for whatever reason, you suspect evil thoughts or a blackened heart in order to have youIt’s fine to tie me to that chair.Look out the window, it’s rainingIt’d be a bad idea to leave the house nowThe buses have stopped and taxis don’t often come here
Tonight, I’m afraid of being aloneKeep stroking my hair until I fall asleepPlease believe me. I’m not normally like thisI just want to listen to the lullabies you sing for meWhile holding me in your arms just for tonightPlease, only for tonight, don’t go.
