I'm not afraid of the dark
I'just afraid of the things that linger there
That creep & crawl & nibble at my fingers there
That wail & weep like some crazed old singer there

I'm not afraid of the dark
I'm just afraid of what'll happen if I go there
I'm just afraid I'll meet someone I know there
I'm just scared of the way things tend to grow there

I'm not afraid of the dark
I'm just afraid of the pale-faced lover
I'm just afraid that she'll break my cover
I'm just afraid that she won't even bother

Oh, my Lord, please give me courage
I will need it where I'm going

I'm just afraid that she won't even bother

I'm just afraid that she won't even bother

I'm just afraid that she won't even bother!

Oh, my Lord, please give me courage
I will need it where I'm going

Oh, my Lord, please give me courage
I will need it where I'm going
