Dead of Night - Mount Eerie

I woke up in the dead of night

«Oh I die»

No light no shape no sound but I

«Oh I die»

I was wide-eyed but saw nothing

«Oh I die»

Kneeling down, feeling around

«Oh I die»

I felt the fur of something

«Oh I die»

In total dark I felt the sleeping thing of

«Oh I die»

From tail to claws, from neck to fangs

«Oh I die»

It was the black wolf they call nothing

«Oh I die»

And by its side I curled and lied

«Oh I die»

I died into sleeping soundlessly

«Oh I die»

When I woke there was nothing beside me of course

And the world was lit and growing

But I said «I know you’re there, I feel your stare

I feel your breathing blowing

See your mashing teeth and falling leaves

Your beady eyes and apples glowing

Oh dead of night hidden from sight

I know you are no dream

And I’m not dozing
