[bodytext] => The shadows of the night
play tricks upon your eyes...
They are full of darkness,
deceit and oh so many lies...

The shadows play games -
they twist and they turn...
They frazzle the nerves
and cause bellies to churn...

They do the dance of the insane-
it's completely a furor...
To a small child wanting sleep
it evokes pure terror.


"Hush my little baby,
don't shed a tear...
Momma's gonna make
those shadows disappear."

The shadows of the night
play tricks upon your eyes...
They are full of darkness,
deceit and oh so many lies...

The shadows play games -
they twist and they turn...
They frazzle the nerves
and cause bellies to churn...

They do the dance of the insane-
it's completely a furor...
To a small child wanting sleep
it evokes pure terror.


"Hush my little baby,
don't shed a tear...
Momma's gonna make
those shadows disappear."
