Song: And the Monsters.

[cadhla]

There's a monster in your closet,
There's a monster in your head.
There's a monster in the shadows
Hiding underneath your bed.

When the shadows come a'crawling,
And the darkness grows too deep,
Remember what I taught you:
Laugh three times and the monsters sleep.

There's a monster at the keyhole,
There's a monster at the lock.
There's a monster on the ferry
And it's coming to the dock.

When the shadows come a'crawling,
And you're scared that you might break,
Remember what I taught you:
Laugh twice more and the monsters wake.

There are monsters who protect us,
There are monsters who stand guard.
There are monsters who can save us
When the going gets too hard.

When the shadows come a'crawling,
And the hope slips through your hands,
Remember what I taught you:
Laugh just once and the monsters stand.

There are monsters you can count on,
There are monsters you can trust.
There are monsters you can turn to
When the rest is ash and dust.

When the shadows come a'crawling,
When you need a place to go,
Remember what I taught you:
Cry and the monsters take you home.
