Lyrics

AFRAID OF THE DARK Ac copyright CJ Smith

If you close your eyes and block your ears you can pretend
If you hum a tune and pray that it will end.
If your father isn't there. And your mother doesn't care
You can turn on all the lights and start again.

Place your hand in mine and tell me one more time.It's ok to be afraid of the dark. Sunshine turns to grey at the end of every day. It's okay to be afraid of the dark.

When you're locked out in the street and all alone again
You can press your face against somebodys pane
Just pretend that you're inside. If they see you, you can hide
You can turn on all the lights and start again

Place your hand in mine and tell me one more time.It's ok to be afraid of the dark. Sunshine turns to grey at the end of every day. It's okay to be afraid of the dark.

So build me a room that is round. No windows no light and no sound
No roof so that the stars light the way. And I'll hide and wait for night to turn to day.

When the shadows hide the shapes that haunt your dreams
And the whisper of the wind is phantom screams
And the moon is hid away. And you tremble till the day
Lights up your house and lets you start again.

Place your hand in mine and tell me one more time.It's ok to be afraid of the dark. Sunshine turns to grey at the end of every day. It's okay to be afraid of the dark.

Place your hand in mine and tell me one more time.It's ok to be afraid of the dark. Sunshine turns to grey at the end of every day. It's okay to be afraid of the dark.
