Jeff Black - Ghosts In The Graveyard lyrics

rate me

Ghosts In The Graveyard

in the summertime in our neighborhood

of an evening into the night

we used to play ghosts out in the graveyard

just beyond the backporch light

late one night when I was hiding out

up in a weeping willow tree

I seen a meteor just fade away

and man it made a change in me

I thought we would live here forever

I thought we would learn to fly by now and not fall

and all the time we spend together

really ain’t no time at all

from my nest up in the willow tree

I could see them ghosts run through the light

and I heard mothers call their children home

to come on in out of the night

so one by one they started running

so I hurried down to say so long

but before i hit the ground to say goodbye

they were gone

I hear echoes in the evening

I see a weeping willow tree

and I tell them ghosts out in the graveyard

don’t be scared it’s only me

the roses bloom and then they fade away
