That calling on the wind Silently exiting And begging to be let in. The scratching at the door posts The turnings of the locks, The clocks chiming silently As if they know they're lost. The wind rustling through the rooms The candles twisting shadows in the night, Little girls clutching teddy bears, scared to death with fright. Monsters under the staircase Vampires at the door Lights cutting through the sky And angels crying "Evermore." Dawn coming silently Crashing back the stars, Taking away the nightmares And keeping away the harm. The stars will take their wishes And their curses just the same, And the late night fright of midnight Will slowly melt away. Adults will watch the shadows And slowly count to ten, Praying for absolution As the night returns again. The strain to hear the scratchings And the footsteps down the hall Silently wondering about the reasons For it all. Do you hear it now? Their voices on the wind? The begging to be forgiven, And the crying to be let in???
