At Night

Sunk deep in the night

I sink in the night

Standing alone

Underneath the sky

I feel the chill of ice

On my face

I watch hours go by

The hours go by

You sleepSleep in a safe bed

Curled and protected

Protected from sight

Under a safe roof

Deep in your house

Unaware of the changes at night

At nightI hear the darkness breathe

I sense the quiet and despair

Listen to the silence at night

Someone has to be there

Someone has to be there

Someone must be there
