And I live in the absence of light
And my shadow has a life of its own
Watching you while you sleep all alone
When the night is all cool skin and bones
And you lie wrapped in sheets on your own
There's a ring on your dead telephone
Don't be scared when there's nobody home
Like a spider wed kiss on your face
That familiar smell just a trace
That's me scent that left on your lace
So you're never alone
No you're never alone
I'm condemned to the long endless night
And I live in the absence of light
