| Howling breaks the silence
|
| Vultures and the spiders
|
| Footsteps on the roof
|
| And that’s not nearly all
|
| Wolves are close behind us
|
| They’re always breathing down my bony neck
|
| Just shut your eyes and pray that God makes them leave
|
| A fear washes over me and I need to know
|
| Will you be there for me when I fall to pieces
|
| Will you listen to me as I fall into pieces
|
| Will you stand here at the side
|
| I truly hear things in the night
|
| I’m always hiding under mattresses and
|
| Now I’ll never come out
|
| I’ll never get up
|
| I heard a doctor say there’s some kind of drug
|
| That makes it always birthday morning, Halloween, and Christmas day
|
| That I’ll take until my white old age
|
| But I need to know
|
| Just what to do now
|
| Will you be there for me when I fall to pieces
|
| Will you listen to me as I fall into pieces
|
| Will you sing me to sleep when my ears won’t stop ringing
|
| Or will you whisper to me pretty lies as you’re leaving
|
| Will you be there for me
|
| I truly hear things in the night
|
| I truly hear things in the night time and look
|
| I truly hear things in the night |
