Gather round, I got a little story to tell ya
In the dark, dark forest of Morling town
Oh, you don't wanna be there when the sun goes down
They say the monsters come up in these woods
Would I could, could, I should, should, I would've
Overthinking but I know that I would love
A glass of water and a bed would go a long way
And then he told me got a story and I should stay
So I don't wanna hear your tale
I got places I gotta be
The sun is setting real low and I got places to go
Leave me be, leave me be, but
He wasn't playing around
I should've heard him out
He says the night comes first, don't say a word
Wait, what's that sound
He forgot to mention
You're alone in the dark
I could be your savior
Where do I start
I'm terrified, terrified, terrified
I turned around and I went to hell
Any place was better than where his words fell
And I swore I would've cried If I didn't weep
He took my strength and he left me weak
Oh, I laid right there in those Morling woods
I was asking for his name like no man should
Sir give me money, give me power and love
I would do anything for the night to come
So listen close, don't make a sound
Close your mouth and look around
There's a smile in the night and he knows your name
You ask a question and you seal your fate
Wait
Now you heard of the story of the man in the dark
Whatever you do, don't let him take your heart
And if you find yourself on a lonely night
Longing for answers as one might
Don't you dare ask him questions if he's coming around
You can run and you can hide but you know that you'll be found
So listen to my story and you'll be alright
Just don't go out at night
