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
Shake their bony hands and so dispell the gloom
Cause your 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 nothin' rattlin' at my heels
There are night 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 would fend them off and they would let me rest
Cause your 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 nothin' rattlin' at my heels
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 that you'll come over to the Other Side
Join me in our new life, keep me company
Cause your 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 nothin' rattlin' at my heels
