Hush now child
Dry your tears
This is no place for your fear
Don’t let it out
Keep it lock up tight
The boogeyman is coming
For you tonight
Draw your bath
Wash away your fright
Can’t you see that?
All of this is for you
He is coming tonight
And just for you
Hush now child
Stay out of sight
Time has come
So hid your fright
Don’t come out
Stay locked up tight
The boogeyman is coming
For you tonight
Dressed in light
Veiled in darkness
Is how he will come
For you this night
He won’t turn away
Even with your lies
So hush now child
You are in his sights
Held there forever
By his childish delights
He’ll use and abuse you
For the rest of your life
The boogeyman is coming
For you this night
So come out and play
With him tonight
He’ll make it your last
In you’re never ending life
Author notes
*laughing* Ok so I'm not sure where I got the idea for this one but I like it none the less. The tune that I think it should go with is rather interesting and just goes to show how messed up my way of thinking is. I suggest you reread it but when you do put it to a Irish tune like from a folk song or something. Hope you like it.
