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