I rock myself to sleep at night
As I watch the stars come in to sight
And I think and I wonder of what might
Happen on this starry night
I awaken to the morning, bright
And try to think of that night
The dreams I had, that brought such fright
That eerie scream I heard that night.
I walk around and in my sight
A body laying pale white
With crimson that glows in the light
What had happened on that night?
When asked of what I saw that night
I said with tears and in great fright
“I’ll tell what I know of that night”
I believe I played the part just right
Afraid, shy, it was quite a sight
For after they left my face grow bright.
It was I that did this on that night.
