Darkness
Darkness brings shadows eerie shapes appear
Things look spooky when there’s no one here
Nothing looks the same when the day turns into night
The least little noise can bring fear and fright
The corners of the rooms are dark and black
Things won’t be the same until the light comes back
Floorboards creak as the house settles into calm
Darkness is upon us but it won’t do any harm
Sleepy eyes are shutting and it’s time to go to bed
Darkness is here so it’s time to rest my head
Why do things seem worse when the night is here?
Laying and waiting for the daylight to appear
Worrying and wondering about stupid things
Then listening to the chorus as the early bird sings
The sun rises in the sky and with it comes the day
Dark and dismal shadows are going away
What was all the worrying about during the night?
Nothing seems as bad in the daylight.
