Nighttime Haunts

I just can't seem to sleep tonight

I guess it's too hard of a fight

And it's always hurt, you know

But I can never tell you so

At least tonight I'm not afraid

Because away my terrors have stayed

So when I go out, in the dark

There are no secrets, not a mark

But that only goes to show

Where my nightly creatures go

Hidden in my mind at night

They're only there to teach me right

And I hope you'll understand one day

Why my hope rides on a ray

For the sun expels my fear

And brushes away every tear

But, you see, I'll never know

Why my dreams will haunt me so...
