Bump in the Night

from Living People by Slow Ships

/

lyrics

There was a time
things quietly stirred
In the back of my mind
and in the black of the night

Across the bed
rose the hair on my head

And all of a sudden
the wind swept the cloud
high and dry
as the shriek of the creatures
go bump in the night

I woke in the night
I woke with a fright
With the black of my eyes
I peered across the bedroom

And all of a sudden
you with your arms outstretched
as the shriek of the creatures
go bump in the night

We had better watch our steps
We had better hold our breath
