sometimes at night i can sense a presence feel a danger i'm a child inside, still afraid of the dark there's someone beside me, i think it must be my guardian angel i'm a child inside, still afraid of the dark and it's a long 'oul night when you can't get to sleep somewhere in the darkness, black dogs bark and insects crawl and creep she'd come in from the shed when the lights went off and the door left ajar i'm a child inside, still afraid of the dark she'd fly around the room on a broom to the pulse of my frightened heart oh i'm a child inside, still afraid of the dark and it's a long 'oul night when you can't get to sleep somewhere in the darkness black dogs bark and insects crawl and creep i often hear a whisper in the trees like someone's in there looking out and watching me sometimes at night i can sense a presence feel a danger i'm a child inside, still afraid of the dark but there's someone beside me, i think it must be my guardian angel i'm a child inside, still afraid of the dark and it's a long 'oul night when you can't get to sleep yes it's a long 'oul night when you can't get to sleep oh it's a long 'oul night when you can't get to sleep yes it's a long 'oul night when you can't get to sleep
