Her quiet footsteps in the dark It was a cold, blistering night Not knowing where she’s heading to Oh, how it gave the little girl a fright Any speck of noise was frightening For she was all alone A rustle in the bush This little girl, only skin and bones She turned a shark corner into the alley A deathly breeze Did she hear something? She just wants to go home now, please? Swoosh! Who’s there? Her stomach starts to churn A trashcan falls over Her throat burns A soft growl from behind Slowing walking over Hands trembling and sweating Now where is her lucky clover? The darkness coveted her How could everything go so wrong? Where’s all the good in the world Like a sad old country song

Darkness
Her quiet footsteps in the dark It was a cold, blistering night Not knowing where she’s heading to Oh, how it gave the little girl a fright Any speck of noise was frightening For she was all alone A rustle in the bush This little girl, only skin and bones She turned a shark corner into the alley A deathly breeze Did she hear something? She just wants to go home now, please? Swoosh! Who’s there? Her stomach starts to churn A trashcan falls over Her throat burns A soft growl from behind Slowing walking over Hands trembling and sweating Now where is her lucky clover? The darkness coveted her How could everything go so wrong? Where’s all the good in the world Like a sad old country song
