Andromeda - Go Back to Sleep lyrics

Thought I was supposed to ask When I could not understand I didn't know some questions Were frowned upon or banned So when I first saw the shadow I trembled and I shook I grabbed your hand and pointed But you didn't even look My son you see shadows Embarrasement and shame But the sun makes the shadows The trees are not to blame I recall the sunshine And the look in your eyes As we reached for the sky In another time But at night in the dark I just couldn't see Couldn't see And the pain and the fear Came haunting me Haunting me There's something under my bed, oh Don't tell me it's all in my head, no I can't make it out in the darkness But the contours look like a monster Daddy why can't you stand upright Mommy why do you just cry Go back to sleep Go back to sleep So I never asked again But I didn't understand What was the point to have me If they couldn't find the time So I swallowed the shadow And made it part of me I thought that'd make them happy But that was not to be My son you're a shadow Embarrasment and shame Our son is in shadow You're standing in the way I recall the sunshine And the look in your eyes As we reached for the sky In another time But at night in the dark I couldn't see Just couldn't see And the pain and the fear Came haunting me Haunting me There's something under my bed, oh Don't tell me it's all in my head, no I can't make it out in the darkness But the contours look like a monster Daddy why do you stare through me Mommy why do you just cry Go back to sleep Go back to sleep
