I would like to ask for mothers night light
The door opens and the light from the corridor
I'm afraid he comes to feed from my torment
I'm afraid he'll show up, I've always been scared of the dark
I know, I sense, a ghost awaits me
swarming, nuggets of fear, in my stomach
Dancing, I am drowsy (sleepy)
And mother watches (vigil)
I'm rolled up in my quilt(duvet) but with a keen (sharp) eye I watch out.
And I listen, I examine each movement in the air
A shadow of a spirit awaits me
Hidden under the carpet, I know, I sense
I am afraid, I am tense, it burns the dreams of children
Dancing, nuggets of fear, in my stomach
swarming, I am sleepy
Dancing, nuggets of fear, in my stomach
Playing, I am sleepy
And mother watches (vigil)
If I close the eyes, it is the edge of a wood
That I would be stuck, paralyzed by the terror (dread)
I cry from the guarding stare
for I will not be jeopardised
Dancing, nuggets of fear, in my stomach
swarming, I am sleepy
Dancing, nuggets of fear, in my stomach
Playing, I am sleepy
Dancing, nuggets of fear, in my stomach
swarming, I am sleepy
