The Dead of Night

Natalie Lomanto

He won’t leave without a fight
He may come out to play
In the dead of night

His eyes pure white
In search of his prey
He won’t leave without a fight

He towers over, giant in height
Wandering around astray
In the dead of night

He holds onto you tight
Until you wear away
He won’t leave without a fight

A bright light
Strikes the bay
In the dead of night

Not a house in sight
The sky turns gray
He won’t leave without a fight
In the dead of night
