SHADOWS IN THE NIGHT. Tears on my pillow as I cry myself to sleep tears on my pillow as I dare not take a peep. I've seen the giant shadow that stands against my wall. I wonder is someone there, or just reflections from the hall. The floorboards, well they're creaky and squeaky on the stair. When I dare to take a peek and see there's no-one there. I have to laugh cause I've been daft with shadows in the night. But then again with creaky boards they gave me such a fright.
