lyrics

When the curtains close,
And the daylight fades.
When the ceiling turns into the sky.
When the darkness falls
And the evening shade
Set the stage right in front of my eyes.
The cast becoming clear
The shadows drawing near
The room moves silently round.
Shapes in the dark
Which save me from sleep
Here with me.

Night time wakes
The shadows running free
Here while he sleeps
The silhouettes and me
Night time stirs
The dark is all around
Here where shadows creep
Where shadows make no sound

Alone in the dark
I will be.

When I watch them fade
Through the gap in my hands.
When they twist and they turn in the air.
When they draw me in
On another night time tale
Turn my head and I know they’re still there.
Before my heavy eyes
I see through their disguise.
I’m wrapped in the dark in my bed.
Silent and still
They lead me to fall
In to sleep.

Night time wakes
The shadows running free
Here while he sleeps
The silhouettes and me
Night time stirs
The dark is all around
Here where shadows creep
Where shadows make no sound

Alone in the dark
I will be.

Hawk To The Hunting Gone
