Are you afraid of the dark?

Are you afraid of the dark?
'No,' I say
I have to go
'Please don't go away'

I'll just turn out the light
'Please don't leave me, don't go anywhere'
You said you were not afraid
'I'm not, I swear'

I have to go, I wont be long
'But when you're gone they come'
Who comes?
'It doesn't matter, no one'

I'll be back, I promise, Good bye
'Sure you will, you don't understand
It's not the dark I fear, its what hurts me in the dark
I fear the man.'
