Fear of the Dark Lyrics


I am a man who walks alone

       And when I'm walking a dark road

    At night or strolling through the park

       When the light begins to change

      I sometimes feel a little strange

       A little anxious when it's dark

      Fear of the dark, fear of the dark

     I have constant fear that something's

                 always near

      Fear of the dark, fear of the dark

        I have a phobia that someone's

                always there

        Have you run your fingers down

                  the wall

    And have you felt your neck skin crawl

     When you're searching for the light?

         Sometimes when you're scared

               to take a look

          At the corner of the room

        You've sensed that something's

                watching you

       Have you ever been alone at night

      Thought you heard footsteps behind

     And turned around and no one's there?

        And as you quicken up your pace

        You find it hard to look again

         Because you're sure there's

                someone there

     Watching horror films the night before

        Debating witches and folklores

       The unknown troubles on your mind

       Maybe your mind is playing tricks

       You sense, and suddenly eyes fix

        On dancing shadows from behind

      Fear of the dark, fear of the dark

     I have constant fear that something's

                 always near

      Fear of the dark, fear of the dark

        I have a phobia that someone's

                always there

        When I'm walking a dark road

         I am a man who walks alone
