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 dispel 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
 When I stroll out late at night, there would be nothing rattling at my heels
 There are nights when all my aching bones won't let me sleep
 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
 '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
 When I stroll out late at night, there would be nothing rattling at my heels
 There are nights when the wind comes ravaging 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
 They will come, collect my corpse and bury me
 But I hope that you'll come over to the other side
 To join me in our new life, keep me company
 '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
 When I stroll out late at night, there would be nothing rattling at my heels
