Thought I was supposed to askWhen I could not understandI didn't know some questionsWere frowned upon or bannedSo when I first saw the shadowI trembled and I shookI grabbed your hand and pointedBut you didn't even lookMy son you see shadowsEmbarrassment and shameBut the sun makes the shadowsThe trees are not to blameI recall the sunshineAnd the look in you eyesAs we reached for the skyIn another timeBut at night in the darkI just couldn't seeCouldn't seeAnd the pain and the fearCame haunting meHaunting meSongtexteThere's something under my bed, ohDon't tell me it's all in my head, noI can't make it out in the darknessBut the contours look like a monsterDaddy why can't you stand uprightMommy why do you just cryGo back to sleepGo back to sleepSo I never asked againBut I didn't understandWhat was the point to have meIf they couldn't find the timeSo I swallowed the shadowAnd made it part of meI thought that'd make them happyBut that was not to beMy son you're a shadowEmbarrassment and shameOur sun is in shadowYou're standing in the wayI recall the sunshineAnd the look in your eyesAs we reached for the skyIn another timeBut at night in the darkI couldn't seeJust couldn't seeAnd the pain and the fearCame haunting meHaunting meThere's something under my bed, ohDon't tell me it's all in my head, noI can't make it out in the darknessBut the contours look like a monsterDaddy why do you stare through me, ohMommy why do you just cryGo back to sleepGo back to sleep Aus Songtexte Mania
