| As a child I would wake at night
|
| I was scared, but I kept real quiet
|
| Shadows on the walls moving in on me
|
| Underneath my sheets I could barely breathe
|
| Your room was only just across the hall
|
| All it would have taken was a single call
|
| Maybe sometimes you’ve got to trust yourself
|
| Not to scream out loud and run like hell
|
| Believe me All the days you’re unsure
|
| Believe in me
|
| I don’t want to anymore
|
| In the dark
|
| Picture me in your mind
|
| And i’ll lay with you
|
| You don’t have to be scared at night
|
| As a young man you were shooting rats
|
| By accident you hit the farmyard cat
|
| He ran for the fields and
|
| Came back the next day
|
| You had blown out his eye
|
| And you could see his brain
|
| Your dad said «Boy, there are some things in life.
|
| You don’t want to do but you know is right.
|
| So take him out back and finish him off.»
|
| You got your gun off the shelf
|
| It only took one shot
|
| Believe me All the days you’re unsure
|
| Believe in me
|
| I don’t want to anymore
|
| In the dark
|
| Picture me in your mind
|
| And i’ll lay with you
|
| So you don’t have to be scared at night
|
| I flew to Winnipeg on your final day
|
| They said that you waited until I came
|
| We sang your favourite hymns
|
| And we held your hand
|
| You took your final breath and that was that
|
| But I’d never seen a person die before
|
| I tried so hard not to cry, you know
|
| Maybe sometimes we’ve got to trust ourselves
|
| That when you die you go someplace else
|
| Believe me All the days you’re unsure
|
| Believe in me
|
| I don’t want to anymore
|
| In the dark
|
| Picture me in your mind
|
| And i’ll lay with you
|
| So you don’t have to be scared at night
|
| You don’t have to be scared at night
|
| You don’t have to be scared at night |
