Lyrics: Shivaree. Goodnight moon.

There's a nail in the door

And there's glass on the lawn

Tacks on the floor

And the TV is on

And I always sleep with my guns when you're gone



There's a blade by the bed

And a phone in my hand

A dog on the floor

And some cash on the nightstand

When I'm all alone the dreaming stops

And I just can't stand



What should I do I'm just a little baby

What if the lights go out

And maybe and then the wind just starts to moan

Outside the door he followed me home



So goodnight moon

I want the sun

If it's not here soon

I might be done

No it won't be too soon 'til I say goodnight moon



There's a shark in the pool

And a witch in the tree

A crazy old neighbor and he's been watching me

And there's footsteps loud and strong coming down the hall

Something's under the bed

Now it's out in the hedge

There's a big black crow sitting on my window ledge

And I hear something scratching through the wall



What should I do I'm just a little baby

What if the lights go out

And maybe and then the wind just starts to moan

Outside the door he followed me home

So goodnight moon

I want the sun

If it's not here soon

I might be done

No it won't be too soon 'til I say goodnight moon
