Alone she lies waiting
Surrounded by gloom
Invaded by shadows
Painting the room
The light from the window
Cuts through the air
And pins the child lying there
Scared of the moon
She pulls up the covers
And shivers in fright
She hides from the colour
That writes on the light

That lights up the sky
And causes her moanful cry
Scared of the moon

But there she lies shivering
Scared of the moon

And soon childhood ends
But life is there fearful
When evening descends
The fear of the child
Still intrude t
