Safe Across The Dark

One, two,

the latch is tight

Three, four, out

goes the light

Sand is slipping through your hand

No more footsteps in the land (shhh)

Something stirs behind the door

Shadows stretch across the floor

Sleep now, I will keep you safe from the dark (from the

dark) Sleep now, let the shadow leave its mark

Five, six, the lock is turned

Seven, eight,

the candle burned

Close your eyes and do not look

Just like it says in the book

Don't look out... (don't look)

Sleep now, I will keep you safe from the dark

(from the dark) Sleep now,

let the shadow leave its mark (shhh...

sleep...)
