sometimes at night i can sense a presence

feel a danger

i'm a child inside, still afraid of the dark

there's someone beside me, i think it must be my guardian angel

i'm a child inside, still afraid of the dark

and it's a long 'oul night when you can't get to sleep

somewhere in the darkness, black dogs bark

and insects crawl and creep

she'd come in from the shed when the lights went off

and the door left ajar

i'm a child inside, still afraid of the dark

she'd fly around the room on a broom

to the pulse of my frightened heart

oh i'm a child inside, still afraid of the dark

and it's a long 'oul night when you can't get to sleep

somewhere in the darkness black dogs bark

and insects crawl and creep

i often hear a whisper in the trees

like someone's in there looking out

and watching me

sometimes at night i can sense a presence

feel a danger

i'm a child inside, still afraid of the dark

but there's someone beside me, i think it must be my guardian angel

i'm a child inside, still afraid of the dark

and it's a long 'oul night when you can't get to sleep

yes it's a long 'oul night when you can't get to sleep

oh it's a long 'oul night when you can't get to sleep

yes it's a long 'oul night when you can't get to sleep
