I woke up in the dead of night
"Oh I die"
No light no shape no sound but I
"Oh I die"
I was wide-eyed but saw nothing
"Oh I die"
Kneeling down, feeling around
"Oh I die"
I felt the fur of something
"Oh I die"
In total dark I felt the sleeping thing of
"Oh I die"
From tail to [C7]claws, from neck to [C7]fangs
"Oh I die"
It was [Am7]the black wolf they call [Em]nothing
"Oh I die"
And by its side I curled and [Bm]lied
"Oh I die"
I died into [C7]sleeping soundlessly
"Oh I die"
When I woke there was [Am7]nothing beside me of course
And the world was [Am7]lit and [Bm]growing
But I said "I know you're there. I feel your stare
I feel your breathing blowing
See your mashing teeth and [Bm]falling leaves
Your beady eyes and [Bm]apples glowing
Oh dead of night hidden from sight
I know you [A7are no dream
And I'm not dozing
