Howling breaks the silence
Vultures and the spiders
Footsteps on the roof
And that's not nearly all
Wolves are close behind us
They're always breathing down my bony neck
Just shut your eyes and pray that God makes them leave
A fear washes over me and I need to know

Will you be there for me when I fall to pieces
Will you listen to me as I fall into pieces

Will you stand here at the side
I truly hear things in the night
I'm always hiding under mattresses and
Now I'll never come out
I'll never get up
I heard a doctor say there's some kind of drug
That makes it always birthday morning, Halloween, and Christmas day
That I'll take until my white old age
But I need to know
Just what to do now

Will you be there for me when I fall to pieces
Will you listen to me as I fall into pieces
Will you sing me to sleep when my ears won't stop ringing
Or will you whisper to me pretty lies as you're leaving

Will you be there for me
[x4]

I truly hear things in the night
I truly hear things in the night time and look
[x2]
I truly hear things in the night
