Song 3 of the 52 Week Song Club

lyrics

When the dog falls asleep
the cat begins to prowl.
All the mice start to creep
in the little man's house.
It was a cold night
in mid September.
All the cars passing by
on the street sounding like
a ghost whispering, "Remember."

Still the dark
presses on.
And, the little man
shuts his eyes
unaware of what might be
going on throughout the night.
With the owls and the musk rats
the opossums and the skunks
the graveyards that aren't haunted
the police and the drunks
the mothers with their babies
the spiders and the flies
all happening beyond
the little man's eyes.

When the sun wakes up
dragging the dawn
melting bits of ice
that have formed on the pond
warming the fields and
making them bright
all for when the little man
opens his eyes.
