written by Lucas/Frost Awake I have been so alone Afraid to close my eyes I'm waiting for the dawn Alone in my shadowed room Sitting here all by myself Morning will be here soon - morning will be here soon *In a small child's room, here I am again / In a small child's room here I am alone The night I know what it hides Things that come and get me now Things that crawl and slide Oh no - I think I hear one now Scratching at my closet door - Begging me to let it out - begging me to let it out -(repeat chorus*) The time I watch it crawl slow When will the sun rise again Making the bad things go The sheets are up over my head Now I realize there's something Under the bed - There's something Under my bed (repeat *) They came once again to take me Away - but this time I was Not theirs to take They tried without fail to pull Me through their void I try to tell but no one believes This boy
