Scared at Night

As a child I would
wake up 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
