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
