Black midnight sea
Shivering in their nest
Bird shadow cast in the moonlight
Reflecting on the waves

They might stay in this town
Or maybe no
I don't care
Little child waking up from a dream
Doesn't know what to fear

Until my messed up mind starts forming the words
Nothing I can do, just stay by your side

Fox on the prowl
Piercing eyes in the dark
Someone's hope he steals away
When the town's asleep

Until my messed up mind starts forming the words
Nothing I can say, just stay by your side
Until my messed up mind starts forming the words
Nothing I can do, just stay by your side

The day's breaking soon
Still clattering toys
Take you for a ride on my back for awhile
Till tears go away

They might stay in this town
Or maybe no. I don't care
Little child who wakes up from the dream

Until my messed up mind starts forming the words
Nothing I can say, just stay by your side
Until my messed up mind starts forming the words
Nothing I can do, just stay by your side
