Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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 the hours go by

The hours go by

[Verse 2]

You sleep, sleep 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 night

[Verse 3]

I hear the darkness breathe

I sense the quiet despair

Listen to the silence at night

Someone has to be there

Someone has to be there

[Outro]

Someone must be there
