Let the evening in now
Let the darkness come
Shadows in your room unfold the night
Time to go to sleep now
For every man and child
Tonight you're still protected by the black
ness
One was nearly seven
Her sister almost five
You'll tell us all tomorrow, Mary Bell
About how smoothly things went
And how they didn't fight
You're going back there, Mary Bell
And tell us how you found out
What no child should know
Tell us about the killing, Mary Bell
The night is dark above you
The universe is quite
Tonight you're still protected by the blackness
