Lyrics

[Verse 1] Then I wake up with a start "Stay peaceful, stay peaceful" Try to calm my racing heart There's no evil There's nothing that can touch me where I lie [Chorus] In these four walls I feel alone and small Till I see there's only three more hours till the sun In my heart of hearts, there's a thousand false alarms Till I see only three more hours till the dark is done [Verse 2] My mind becomes a wild thing I'll speak softly to it, softly These rough edges need sanding So gently I tell myself it's okay to slow down [Chorus] In thesе four walls I feel alone and small Till I see there's only three morе hours till the sun In my heart of hearts, there's a thousand false alarms Till I see only three more hours till the dark is done [Verse 3] To whatever part of me that's keeping watch Oh, I know, I know, I know that you're just doing what you're told to You're warning me there's danger when there's not So I'll put you back to sleep I'll let you know it if I need you [Chorus] In these four walls I feel alone and small Till I see there's only three more hours till the sun In my heart of hearts, there's a thousand false alarms Till I see only three more hours till the dark is done Till the dark is done
