I'm not afraid of the dark

I'just afraid of the things that linger there

That creep & crawl & nibble at my fingers there

That wail & weep like some crazed old singer there



I'm not afraid of the dark

I'm just afraid of what'll happen if I go there

I'm just afraid I'll meet someone I know there

I'm just scared of the way things tend to grow there



I'm not afraid of the dark

I'm just afraid of the pale-faced lover

I'm just afraid that she'll break my cover

I'm just afraid that she won't even bother



Oh, my Lord, please give me courage

I will need it where I'm going



I'm just afraid that she won't even bother



I'm just afraid that she won't even bother



I'm just afraid that she won't even bother!



Oh, my Lord, please give me courage

I will need it where I'm going



Oh, my Lord, please give me courage

I will need it where I'm going
