Delberta Pethke
In My House
Upon my bed, they rest their heads
With me alone, my love be gone.
The darkness hides foes a plenty
If friends you be, show your selves when he is near.
Friend or foe I don’t know
Of human fears I can’t speak
Here alone sanity leaves me.
Demons fly through the night
They howl and scream just out of sight
If you be friend visit the day light
I know you not nor your reasons
Leave my house be gone I say
I wish not to be alone; I wish not to hide in fear.
Alone now every night, alone and so afraid
So alone I am to stay, afraid I am to be.
Please Dear God have mercy on me
Tell these demons of the night go away just leave me
Help me be strong, be gone the spirits that make me shiver
Help me defeat the spooks of the night;
don’t let the sounds of darkness harm me.
Darkness falls, the night seeps in
Alone I am alone.
