In a Small Child´s Room

Awake I have been so alone

Afraid to close my eyes

I'm waiting for the dawn

Alone in my shadowed room

Sitting here all by myself

Morning will be here soon - morning

will be here soon

*In a small child's room, here I am

again / In a small child's room

here I am alone

The night I know what it hides

Things that come and get me now

Things that crawl and slide

Oh no - I think I hear one now

Scratching at my closet door -

Begging me to let it out - begging me to

let it out -(repeat chorus*)

The time I watch it crawl slow

When will the sun rise again

Making the bad things go

The sheets are up over my head

Now I realize there's something

Under the bed - There's something

Under my bed

They came once again to take me

Away - but this time I was

Not theirs to take

They tried without fail to pull

Me through their void

I try to tell but no one believes

This boy
