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
Child, 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'm falling to pieces?
Will you stand here right beside
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 the 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'm falling to 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?
Will you be there for me?
Will you be there for me?
Will you be there for me?
I truly hear things in the night
(Will you be there for me?)
I truly hear things in the nighttime alone
(Will you be there for me?)
I truly hear things in the night
(Will you be there for me?)
I truly hear things in the nighttime alone
(Will you be there for me?)
I truly hear things in the night
