Marc Cohn Giving Up The Ghost song lyrics

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
