| Let the evening in now
|
| Let the darkness come
|
| Shadows in your room unfold the night
|
| Time to go to sleep now
|
| for every man and child
|
| Tonight you’re still protected by the blackness
|
| One was nearly seven
|
| Her sister almost five
|
| You’ll tell us all tomorrow, Mary Bell
|
| About how smoothly things went
|
| and how they didn’t fight
|
| You’re going back there, Mary Bell
|
| And tell us how you found out
|
| what no child should know
|
| Tell us about the killing, Mary Bell
|
| The night is dark above you
|
| The universe is quiet
|
| Tonight you’re still protected by the blackness |
