There's a nail in the door and there's glass on the lawn
Tacks on the floor and the TV is on
And I always sleep with my guns when you're gone

There's a blade by the bed and a phone in my hand
A dog on the floor and some cash on the nightstand
When I'm all alone the dreaming stops and I just can't stand

What should I do, just a little baby
What if the lights go out and maybe
And then the wind just starts to moan
Outside the door, he followed me home

Well, goodnight moon, I want the sun
If it's not here soon, I might be done
No, it won't be too soon 'till I say: goodnight moon

There's a shark in the pool and a witch in the tree
A crazy old neighbour and he's been watching me
And there's footsteps loud and strong coming down the hall

Something's under the bed, now it's out in the hedge
There's a big black crow sitting on my window ledge
And I hear something scratching through the wall

Oh, what should I do, just a little baby
What if the lights go out and maybe
I just hate to be all alone
Outside the door, he followed me home

Now, goodnight moon, I want the sun
If it's not here soon, I might be done
No, it won't be too soon 'till I say: goodnight moon

Well, you're up so high, how can you save me
When the dark comes here tonight to take me up
The mouth from woke and into bed
Where it kisses my face and eats my hand

Oh, what should I do, just a little baby
What if the lights go out and maybe
And when the wind just starts to moan
Outside the door, he followed me home

Now, goodnight moon, I want the sun
If it's not here soon, I might be done
No, it won't be too soon 'till I say: goodnight moon
No, it won't be too soon 'till I say: goodnight moon
