lyrics

I'm sorry
Your whimpering woke
The mouse under the floorboards
I'm sorry
The scampering mouse
Woke the owl on our roof
And I realize
When unknown creatures
Roam the corridors
It's hard to stay aloof

Like a night light
Unplug the moon, turn off the light
Watch the night life
Sometimes creatures try to bite

I'm sorry
This whispering world
Is battling your slumber
And I'm sorry
The grass is so grey
The sky is so dark
And I realize
Someday the world
May be torn asunder
The ember meets the spark

Through the skylight
Catch the stars, they tumble down
Tumble down
Watch the sky life
Crooked creatures hover 'round

And I can assure you
You've done no harm
I'm caring for you
Do not be alarmed
You did no harm…
You did no harm…

I'm sorry
Your murky mind
Conjures dragons and warlords
And I'm sorry
You cannot believe
These words are the truth
And I realize
When unknown creatures
Roam the corridors
It's hard to stay aloof

Like a night light
Unplug the moon, turn off the light
Off the light
Watch the night life
Sometimes creatures try to bite
Through the skylight
Catch the stars, they tumble down
Tumble down
Watch the sky life
Crooked creatures hover 'round

Like a night light……
