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
