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
Remember you're protected by the blackness 

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 quiet
Tonight you're still protected by the blackness
