Fear Of The Dark

I am a man who walks alone,
And when I'm walking a dark road
At night or strolling through the park.
 
When the light begins to change,
I sometimes feel a little strange
A little anxious when it's dark.
 
[Chorus]
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark,
I have constant fear that something's always near
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark,
I have a phobia that someone's always there
 
Have you run your fingers down the wall,
And have you felt your neck skin crawl,
When you're searching for the light?
Sometimes when you're scared to take a look
At the corner of the room,
You've sensed that something's watching you
 
[Chorus]
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark,
I have constant fear that something's always near
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark,
I have a phobia that someone's always there
 
Have you ever been alone at night,
Thought you heard footsteps behind
And turned around and no one's there?
And as you quicken up your pace,
You find it hard to look again
Because you're sure there's someone there
 
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark,
I have constant fear that something's
always near.
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark,
I have a phobia that someone's
always there.
 
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark...
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark...
 
Watching horror films the night before,
Debating witches and folklores
The unknown troubles on your mind
Maybe your mind is playing tricks,
You sense, and suddenly eyes fix
On dancing shadows from behind.
 
[Chorus]
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark,
I have constant fear that something's always near
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark,
I have a phobia that someone's always there
 
And when I'm walking a dark road,
I am a man who walks alone.
