Dark I Know Well

Spring Awakening Song of the Day #8

"(The) Dark I Know Well"
Character(s): Martha, Ilse

There's a part I can't tell
About the dark I know well
You say, "Time for bed now child"
Mom just smiles that smile
Just like she never saw me
Just like she never saw me
So I leave, wanting just to hide
Knowing deep inside
You are coming to me
You are coming to me

You say all you want is just a kiss goodnight
And then you hold me and you whisper
"Child, the Lord won't mind
It's just you and me
Child, you're a beauty
God, it's good, the lovin?
Ain't it good tonight?
You ain't seen nothing yet
Gonna treat you right
It's just you and me
Child, you're a beauty"

I don't scream, though I know it's wrong
I just play along
I lie there and breathe
Lie there and breathe
I wanna be strong
I want the world to find out
That you're dreaming on me
Me and my "beauty"

Me and my "beauty"
You say all you want is just a kiss goodnight
And then you hold me and you whisper
"Child, the Lord won't mind
It's just you and me
Child, you're a beauty
God, it's good, the lovin?
Ain't it good tonight?
You ain't seen nothing yet
Gonna teach you right
It's just you and me
Child, you're a beauty"

There's a part I can't tell
About the dark I know well
There's a part I can't tell
About the dark I know well
There's a part I can't tell
About the dark I know well
There's a part I can't tell
About the dark I know well
