As I lay and read my book was that a ghost that I mistook
A shadowed figure in the dark please be still my thumping heart
A shiver runs down of my spine is this the bewitching time
I hide my head beneath the sheets with one eye open just too peek.
Please go away i shout with fright leave me alone this winter\'s night
And then I raise with all my might I scream and shout get out, get out
I am the host I uninvite you ghost
And then the silence still the night
I have expelled my guest tonight
So restful sleep I hope to get I snuggle down with deep regret
If only I had not murdered him And committed such a awful sin
So judge and jury I must be and let his ghost keep punishing me.
