The solitude of dusk Another day the sun's abandoned us Shadows are drawing long Upon the far bookshelf The trappings of our home Sad, solemn as the columns of a morgue Cars creeping through the night-splashed light Upon your framed photo It's like I've seen a ghost It's like I've seen a ghost I've let myself become obsessed And you've become too close You scare me to death Surely you'll leave me yet And when the going's good I'm constantly convinced that it's a curse With my luck, we'll marry, have two lovely children And a ranch in the 'burbs where we'll be murdered I wake up in a sweat The nightmare where you're trapped under the bed And each time I close the bathroom mirror I'm certain your ghoul will appear It's like I've seen a ghost It's like I've seen a ghost The more I try to love someone The more the horror grows You scare me to death Surely you'll leave me yet By a car crash or heart attack Or simply losing interest
