lyrics

Light from the TV casts a shadow on the wall,
There are six legs a broken body and four wings to move along,
So I'll take you by the hand and we'll move sharply through the night,
Our own legs they will propel us, on borrowed wings we will take flight.

The dark it will protect us for it hides so many sins,
The insects and our enemies are all contained within,
So I'll take you by the hand and we'll move sharply through the night,
Our own legs they will propel us, on borrowed wings we will take flight.

If you promise that you'll stay with me, if you promise you wont leave,
I'll wrap you up in my blue blazer and lie you down amongst the leaves,
I will give to you my body heat, I'll stay until first light,
And i promise I'll protect you from the monsters in the night.
