Scared At Night Lyrics - Asking For Flowers - Kathleen Edwards

As a child I would wake at night 

I was scared but I kept real quiet 

Shadows on the walls moving in on me 

And underneath my sheets I could barely breathe 

And your room was only just across the hall 

All it would have taken was a single call 

Maybe sometimes we've got to trust ourselves 

Not to scream out loud, and run like hell 

Believe me, all our days here are unsure 

Believe in me, I don't want to anymore 

And in the dark, picture me in your mind 

And I'll lay with you, you don't have to be scared at night 

As a young man you were shooting rats 

By accident you hit the farmyard cat 

He ran for the fields and came back the next day 

You'd blown out his eye and you could see his brain 

That's it boy, there is some things in life 

You don't wanna do, but you know is right 

So take him out back and finish him off 

Got your gun off the shelf, it only took one shot 

Believe me, all our days here are unsure 

Believe in me, I don't want to anymore 

And in the dark, picture me in your mind 

And I'll lay with you, so you don't have to be scared at night 

And I flew away and I paid on your final day 

They said that you waited 'til I came 

We sang your favorite hymns and we held your hand 

You took your final breath and that was that 

But I'd never seen a person die before 

I tried so hard not to cry and all 

'Cause maybe sometimes we've got to trust ourselves 

That when you die you go some place else 

Believe me, all our days here are unsure 

Believe in me, I don't want to anymore 

And in the dark, picture me in your mind 

And I'll lay with you, you don't have to be scared at night 

You don't have to be scared at night 

You don't have to be scared at night
