lyrics

Dead of Night

I woke up in the dead of night.
(Oh, wide eyed.)
No light, no shape no sound, but I,
I was wide eyed but saw nothing.
Kneeling down feeling around,
I felt the fur of something.
In total dark I felt the sleeping thing up.
From tail to claws. From neck to fangs.
It was the back wolf they call “Nothing”.
(Oh, I died.)
and by its side I curled and lied.
I died then to sleeping soundlessly.
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 gnashing teeth in falling leaves.
Your beady eyes in apples glowing.
Oh Dead of Night, hidden from sight,
I know you are no dream
and I’m not dozing.”
