Marc Cohn - Giving Up the Ghost lyrics

rate me

Deep in the night she quietly creeps<br />

Sometimes she moans, sometimes she weeps<br />

When the wind starts a howlin' out of control<br />

She?s trouble in mind, she?s nothin' but soul<br />

<br />

Now don?t feel afraid there?s nothin' to fear<br />

It?s just strange visitations year after year<br />

She gave me somethin' I needed but now the feeling is gone<br />

And it?s high time I told her she?s gonna have to move on<br />

<br />

From the eerie lake to the hills that shake<br />

I?ve been haunted on every coast<br />

I might miss her I know but I?m letting it go<br />

I?m givin' up the ghost, givin' up the ghost<br />

<br />

Last night she came in at the usual time<br />

Twelve is the number that the church bells did chime<br />

But the wind didn?t blow, there was barely a breeze<br />

Just a light shinin' over the sycamore trees<br />

<br />

From the eerie lake to the hills that shake<br />

I?ve been haunted on every coast<br />

I might miss her in know but I?m letting it go<br />

I?m givin' up the ghost, givin' up the ghost<br />

<br />

Now feelin' much better but I?m still on the brink<br />

I just got a letter in vanishing ink<br /><br />
