Unwelcome Guest
The unwelcome guest came in the night
Never took off his coat
Put a record on slow
Said, "I shall reveal the debt you have made
From which you've been kept
But will not be saved"
A ghost from the west
He waited 'til dawn
Stole from me light
And then he was gone
There was a fire carried by blame
Now I could retire
Or beg off in shame
But I will not beg, no, I will not crave
I'll lose all desire
Let it pass away
Until I'm just bones
A skeleton drawn
On a black stone
To be left alone
Never took off his coat
Put a record on slow
Said, "I shall reveal the debt you have made
From which you've been kept
But will not be saved"
A ghost from the west
He waited 'til dawn
Stole from me light
And then he was gone
There was a fire carried by blame
Now I could retire
Or beg off in shame
But I will not beg, no, I will not crave
I'll lose all desire
Let it pass away
Until I'm just bones
A skeleton drawn
On a black stone
To be left alone
