Ghosts in the Hallway

In the silence of my room,
Shadows dancing in the gloom.
Whispered voices start to bloom
Echoes of a heart's old tune.

Chilled air, a sudden sigh
Feels like someone's passing by.

In the corner of my eye
Secrets that the dead don't lie.

Every night they come to haunt,
In the place where spirits flaunt,
Where my fears are fierce and gaunt,
Yet their presence stirs to taunt.

Ghosts in the hallway speaking in riddles
Shuffling whispers like a violin's fiddles
Behind the curtains under my bed
Spirits of the past swirling in my head

There's a cold spot in my soul
Where the night takes its toll
Footsteps creaking on the floor
Memories knocking on the door

Through the walls, they softly speak
Of the secrets that they keep
Tales of sorrow lost and deep
Where love's vows no longer leap

Candle flickers, lights are dim
In their world of whim and vim
Reaching out on every limb
In the nights a remnant grim

Ghosts in the hallway speaking in riddles
Shuffling whispers like a violin's fiddles
Behind the curtains under my bed
Spirits of the past swirling in my head

Ghosts in the hallway

Speaking in riddles

In the stillness hear them cry
Why we never say goodbye?
Bound to earth they cannot fly
In their haunting lullaby.

Ghosts in the hallway speaking in riddles
Shuffling whispers like a violin's fiddles
Behind the curtains under my bed
Spirits of the past swirling in my head

Holding still to see the way
But I know they'll come again to stay

In the whispers of the fray
Where the ghostly shadows play.

Swirling in my head

As dawn breaks they fade away
But I know they'll come again to stay

In the whispers of the fray
Where the ghostly shadows play.
