Fear is my mouse It scritters and scratches And furtively tap dances In the black when I'm Hoping and dreaming in the dark His friend is a moth of self-doubt That hides from the day But flutters and bashes And flits at my eyelashes Whenever I turn out the light Even the innocent tree Who can't help but sway in the wind Is guilty of tapping my window The glass is belief and the branch uncertainty The panes often shatter and let in the night.

Night Time
Fear is my mouse It scritters and scratches And furtively tap dances In the black when I'm Hoping and dreaming in the dark His friend is a moth of self-doubt That hides from the day But flutters and bashes And flits at my eyelashes Whenever I turn out the light Even the innocent tree Who can't help but sway in the wind Is guilty of tapping my window The glass is belief and the branch uncertainty The panes often shatter and let in the night.
