Then I wake up with a start "Stay peaceful, stay peaceful" Try to calm my racing heart There's no evil There's nothing that can touch me where I lie In these four walls I feel alone and small 'Til I see there's only three more hours 'til the sun In my heart of hearts, there's a thousand false alarms 'Til I see only three more hours 'til the dark is done My mind becomes a wild thing I'll speak softly to it, softly These rough edges need sanding So gently I tell myself it's okay to slow down In these four walls I feel alone and small 'Til I see there's only three more hours 'til the sun In my heart of hearts, there's a thousand false alarms 'Til I see only three more hours 'til the dark is done To whatever part of me that's keeping watch Oh, I know, I know, I know that you're just doing what you're told to You're warning me there's danger when there's not So, I'll put you back to sleep I'll let you know it if I need you In these four walls I feel alone and small 'Til I see there's only three more hours 'til the sun In my heart of hearts, there's a thousand false alarms 'Til I see only three more hours 'til the dark is done 'Til the dark is done
