Shadows in the dark city Linger through the night Danger lurks by your doorway Don't turn out the light Sleep easy, don't worry Calm your timid soul Footsteps under your window It's just the night patrol Someone is dying Yours mother's crying Don't go out alone Evil is prowling The wind is howling Through your happy home Sleep, sleep, pretty baby, sleep Dream your dream of angels Rock-a-bye, baby, goodnight Shadows in the bleak city Night patrol's alert Making sure that you're OK. That you don't get hurt Anxious to protect you Everything's alright Shadows in the sad city Bleed through the night
