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 the 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 despair
Listen to the silence
At night

Someone has to be there
Someone has to be there


Someone must be there
