I am a man who walks alone

And when I’m walking a dark road

at night, or strolling through the park.

When the light begins to change,

I sometimes feel a little strange,

a little anxious when it’s dark.

Fear of the dark, fear of the dark

I have constant fear that something's always near.

Fear of the dark, fear of the dark

I have a phobia that someone's always there.

Have you run your fingers down the wall

and have you felt your neck skin crawl

when you're searching for the light?

Sometimes when you're scared to take a look

at the corner of the room

you've sensed that something's watching you.

Fear of the dark, fear of the dark

I have constant fear that something's always near.

Fear of the dark, fear of the dark

I have a phobia that someone's always there.

Have you ever been alone at night,

thought you heard footsteps behind

and turned around, and no-one’s there?

And as you quicken up your pace

you find it hard to look again,

because you’re sure there’s someone there.

Fear of the dark, fear of the dark

I have constant fear that something's always near.

Fear of the dark, fear of the dark

I have a phobia that someone's always there.

Watching horror films the night before,

debating witches and folklore,

the unknown troubles on your mind.

Maybe your mind is playing tricks.

You sense, and suddenly eyes fix

on dancing shadows from behind.

Fear of the dark, fear of the dark

I have constant fear that something's always near.

Fear of the dark, fear of the dark

I have a phobia that someone's always there.

When I'm walking a dark road

I am a man who walks alone.
