[Verse 1]
Look at that wild Palomino runnin' like he's scared
He caught the Devil's shadow when he was unprepared
Oh, the dark is gonna get ya, and there ain't no place to hide
Yeah, the dark is gonna get ya, it'll come for you tonight
It'll come for you tonight

[Verse 2]
Well Darlin' I won't blame you if you turn around and run
Who'd wanna be standin' on the wrong end of a gun?
Oh, the dark is gonna get ya, and you're runnin' out of time
Yeah, the dark is gonna get ya, and soon you will be mine

[Chorus]
Daylight never cares once I love someone
Don't come any closer to my heart if you're afraid of the dark

[Verse 3]
Look at that lone desperado thinkin' he's the one
Well he can go and draw his bow, but he don't know when all is said and done
That the dark is gonna get ya, and there's nothin' you can do
Oh, the dark is gonna get ya, and you're gonna find out soon

[Chorus]
Daylight never cares once I love someone
Don't come any closer to my heart if you're afraid of the dark

If you're afraid of the dark
