At Night

Sunk deep in the night I sink in the night Standing alone Underneath the sky I feel the chill of ice On my face I watch hours go by The hours go by You sleep Sleep in a safe bed Curled and protected Protected from sight Under a safe roof Deep in your house Unaware of the changes at night At night I hear the darkness breathe I sense the quiet and despair Listen to the silence at night Someone has to be there Someone has to be there Someone must be there
