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 dispell 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, and when i stroll out late at night, there would be nothing rattling at my hells, there are nights when all my aching bones won't let me sleep, and 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, there are nights, when the wind comes howling through 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, and they will come collect my corpse and bury me, and then i hope you'll come over to the other side, to join me in our new life, keep me company
