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 a 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 



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 



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
