The Ghosts That Haunt Me

There's a skeleton in everybody's closet
I can think of one or two in my own room
But I would like to introduce them both to you
You'd shake their bony hands and so dispel the gloom

'Cause you're so kind, I know you would not mind
You'd send away the ghosts that haunt me now
And the things I fear just wouldn't seem so near
When I stroll out late at night, there would be nothing rattling at my heels

There are nights when all my aching bones won't let me sleep
Demons come to plague me as I lie in bed
But I know if you were sleeping there beside me then
That you could fend them off and they would let me rest

'Cause you're so kind, I know you would not mind
You'd send away the ghosts that haunt me now
And the things I fear just wouldn't seem so near
When I stroll out late at night, there would be nothing rattling at my heels

There are nights when the wind comes ravaging my old place
I have dreams and I wake up with the sweat pouring down my face
And I wait till the morning comes

There will come a time I fear when all my days are done
They will come, collect my corpse and bury me
But I hope that you'll come over to the other side
To join me in our new life, keep me company

'Cause you're so kind, I know you would not mind
You'd send away the ghosts that haunt me now
And the things I fear just wouldn't seem so near
When I stroll out late at night, there would be nothing rattling at my heels
