I see you every evening, when I close the light
Darkness in my doorway, lurking in the night
What is it you’ve come for, what is it you need?
You don’t answer, but my sleep, you do impede
I try to close my eyes a bit, yet, I can still see
Your shadow lurking in the night, making fun of me
But I can’t hear your laughter, I can’t hear your voice
I try to block you out of my mind, as if I have a choice
You can leave now, go on, and just let me go to sleep
So I can dream of shadows…
…that around my bedroom, creep
