Night falls fast, in the city park
No place to be, when it's after dark
Hiding in the bushes, is a deadly stranger
Better get home, and out of danger.
Do many times has she walked this way
Heart in mouth with the fading light of day
Easy to forget her father's warning
Beware. beware of the dangers of strangers.
Out from behind, a hidden tree,
Promising her wonders, and great things to see
Reaches for her hand, with a smile on his face
She's quick off her mark, as the stranger gives chase
So many times had she gone this way
Never before the strangers game she'd play
Running for the gate, she remembers the words,
Beware. beware of the dangers of strangers.
