The Dead of Night

Lyrics for The Dead of Night

I woke up in the dead of night "Oh I die" No light no shape no sound but I "Oh I die" I was wide-eyed but saw nothing "Oh I die" Kneeling down, feeling around "Oh I die" I felt the fur of something "Oh I die" In total dark I felt the sleeping thing of "Oh I die" From tail to claws, from neck to fangs "Oh I die" It was the black wolf they call nothing "Oh I die" And by its side I curled and lied "Oh I die" I died into sleeping soundlessly "Oh I die" When I woke there was nothing beside me of course And the world was lit and growing But I said "I know you're there, I feel your stare I feel your breathing blowing See your mashing teeth and falling leaves Your beady eyes and apples glowing Oh dead of night hidden from sight I know you are no dream And I'm not dozing
