As night draws near on the old house by the hill
night draws near
where the children all played at will
when the sun at last comes down
hushing merry din
mother won`t you look around
are the children in?

Been so many years
since we played with friends in the streets
so many years no longer echoes of childish feet
until we learn to love each other
when will it all begin
mother won`t you look around
are the children in?

(Chorus)
I`m so afraid
the wolf knows where I am
I`m so afraid
the wolf knows where I am

Goodbye to the world seems just like the other day
bye to the world all tired of our foolish play
when we get to the other land
where mother long has been
will we hear her say
are the children in?

(Chorus)
I`m so afraid
the wolf knows where I am
I`m so afraid
the wolf knows where I am
