Phantasm

Goosebumps in the night
I thought I lived alone
Secrets lovely dark and deep
Thrill me to the bone

I sense her presence
She haunts my house
Don't think just anyone
Can trap this mouse

She starts, she flies
She reads me like a poem
She startles, she shies
And just like that she's gone

I sense her at the door
She's jiggling the latch
Such a capricious
Bandersnatch

Oh call the priest
To exorcize
But when you come along
She's in disguise

She starts, she flies
She reads me like a poem
She startles, she shies
And just like that she's gone

She hates my lovers
Though she's winked at some
Beckoning mystery
How she could become

She only shows herself
When she feels safe with me
You'll only meet her if you
Tickle her fancy

I've tried sage and I've tried thyme
Hours coaxing this phantom of mine
She won't come when I call
Yes I'm bewitched I'm seeking her thrall
My voice just echoes in the chasm
Where are you my sweet phantasm

She calls the shots
Does as she pleases
I've tried science
I've asked Jesus

It's hide and seek
The blind man's buff
Patience tried
Hope you ain't had enough

She starts, she flies
She reads me like a poem
She startles, she shies
and just like that she's gone
She starts, she flies
She reads me like a poem
She startles, she shies
And just like that
