They're in the shadows

I seem them there

Where the wind billows

And the trees stretch long to the skies

They watch me with evil eyes

I see them everywhere

Even when they're in disguise

And they hide under my bed

They might be in my head

I see them in the color of my hair

My eyes always wonder where I'm led

So maybe I'll follow them through my fear

What, you can't see them here?

I see them in their dark lair

They drive me crazy when they're near

I really should run away

Something about them whispers to stay

I see them and wonder if they'll tear

Are they made or paper or clay

Maybe then I can chase them off

My friend snaps me back with a cough

I see them and they see our pair

Here at this safe little trough

They can't get me when she's around

My guardian angel should be crowned

I see them flicker in the air

Then they vanish without a sound

And I know, they're homebound
