Mary Bell

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