Scared at night As a child I'd wake at night And I was scared but I kept real quiet And shadows on the walls moving in on me Well, underneath my sheets I could barely breathe And your room was only just across the hall And all it would have taken was a single call Maybe sometimes we got to trust ourselves Not to scream out loud and run like hell But believe me All the days you're unsure Believe in me I don't want to anymore And in the dark Picture me in your mind And I will lay with you So you don't have to be scared tonight Well, as a young man you were shooting rats And by accident you hit the farmyard cat And he ran for the fields and came back the next day Well, you had blown out his eye and you could see his brain Dad said "Boy, there are some things in life You don't want to do but you know is right So take him out back and finish him off" You got your gun off the shelf, it only took one shot Believe me All the days you're unsure Believe in me So I don't have to anymore And in the dark You could picture me in your mind I will lay with you So you don't have to be scared tonight Well I flew to Winnipeg on your final day And they said that you waited 'til I came And we sang your favorite hymns and we held your hand And you took your final breath and that was that But I've never seen a person die before And I tried so hard not to cry, you know But maybe sometimes we got to trust ourselves But when you die you go someplace else Believe me All the days you're unsure Believe in me I don't want to anymore 'Cause in the dark Picture me in your mind I will lay with you So you don't have to be scared tonight Scared tonight You don't have to be scared tonight Lyrics are interpreted from the 2006-03-27 performance | |||||||
