"Lady of the Night"

I look into the sky, at your great big staring eye

It's just a sliver

The wind is blowing hard, and my skin begins to crawl

I feel a shiver

The night is yours to play, while I sleep the time away

I often wonder

Who it is you are, will you always be so far

When I do slumber

Do you sneak into my mind, finding places to unwind

As I am dreaming

Do you conjure up my thoughts, unearth ground that likes to rot

Nightmares streaming

Are you mean or are you nice, visit once or visit twice

Should I love you or despise, think you dumb or think you wise

Look your way and be afraid, for the trouble that you've made

in my life

Are you lovely to behold, beauty young or wretched old

Do you care about me here, when my heart is full of fear

Reaching down with your long finger, stirring muck, leftovers linger

"sorry dear"

I will pay you for your time, if you kindly do not mind

Leave my heart, my mind and home, I just want to be alone

Take your finger and your sliver, take your darkness and your shiver

Go to hell, you dreamer killer

I refuse to live in fright

Of the lady of the night
