Howling breaks the silence

Vultures and the spiders

Footsteps on the roof

And that's not nearly all

Wolves are close behind us

They're always breathing down my bony neck

Just shut your eyes and pray that God makes them leave

A fear washes over me and I need to know



Will you be there for me when I fall to pieces

Will you listen to me as I fall into pieces



Will you stand here at the side

I truly hear things in the night

I'm always hiding under mattresses and 

Now I'll never come out

I'll never get up

I heard a doctor say there's some kind of drug

That makes it always birthday morning, Halloween, and Christmas day

That I'll take until my white old age

But I need to know

Just what to do now



Will you be there for me when I fall to pieces

Will you listen to me as I fall into pieces

Will you sing me to sleep when my ears won't stop ringing

Or will you whisper to me pretty lies as you're leaving



Will you be there for me

[x4]



I truly hear things in the night

I truly hear things in the night time and look

[x2]

I truly hear things in the night
