Deep in the night she quietly creeps Sometimes she moans, sometimes she weeps When the wind starts a howlin' out of control She? s trouble in mind, she? s nothin' but soul Now don? t feel afraid there? s nothin' to fear It? s just strange visitations year after year She gave me somethin' I needed but now the feeling is gone And it? s high time I told her she? s gonna have to move on From the eerie lake to the hills that shake I? ve been haunted on every coast I might miss her I know but I? m letting it go I? m givin' up the ghost, givin' up the ghost Last night she came in at the usual time Twelve is the number that the church bells did chime But the wind didn? t blow, there was barely a breeze Just a light shinin' over the sycamore trees From the eerie lake to the hills that shake I? ve been haunted on every coast I might miss her in know but I? m letting it go I? m givin' up the ghost, givin' up the ghost Now feelin' much better but I? m still on the brink I just got a letter in vanishing ink
