Darkness brings shadows to life
They move, they creep and they crawl
The darkness brings dark shadows to life,
They move, they creep and they crawl,
Across the landscape and every wall.
Darkness has no companion in the night,
When children quiver in sheer fright.
The darkness is when the cats and mice,
Move into the shadows of the night,
Making the nervous look back twice.
The inky darkness of the dark night,
Have shadows as companions till morning light.
The old man eats his dinner in candle-light,
With shadows as friends in the night.
The young boy dreams of his pudding and his pie,
As he looks up at the dark night starry sky.
The baker bakes his bread at night,
Which will be baked in the morning light.
The mother prepares her lamb stew,
Making it delicious for her small family,
As they prepare to have their meal at night,
As shadows prowl throughout the night.
The darkness brings dark shadows to life,
They move, they creep and they crawl,
Across the landscape and every wall.
