Cre you afraid of the dark, my baby?
I say, Mother, oh, Mother, I am
Lay here as still as you can, my baby
cnd I'll fill up your eyelids with sand

I cry myself to sleep
While the monsters were quietly creeping
Through the cracks in my door
Plundering sheets for to dream in

What if our house catches fire tonight?
She says, baby, oh, baby, it won't
How do you know so much more than I do?
She says, baby, oh, baby, I don't

I cry myself to sleep
While the flames melt my whole into hollow
In the snow white morning
Shoveling ash from my pillow

What if I fall asleep tonight
cnd I know not the light of the morning?
With robbers and demons aflight
Oh, lying awake I am listening
