1
As kids we used to watch them in the alley come and go
2
We could see the imprints of their footprints in the snow
3
They'd turn the corner out of sight
4
And we'd always let them go
5
We didn't want to know
6
I saw one disappear in to the dusk living room
7
Rain was beating on the sidewalk
8
But I heard him hum a tune
9
The melody familiar, but higher than I knew it
10
I ran up to my bed
11
And I quickly got into it
12
Hid my head beneath the covers,
13
Counted up to ten
14
I looked around the room
15
And they were back again
16
Sitting at my bedside, watching over me
17
Turned the lock upon my door
18
And swallowed up the key
19
They stroked my head and whispered,
20
"Now we'll never set you free"ย
21
And they never set me free
22
The years turned into ages
23
And I could see them still
24
Sometimes moving like an angel
25
Sometimes coming for the kill
26
They made me hide my real face
27
Quite against my will
28
I admit it was a thrill
29
Now everywhere I go
30
And in everything I do
31
It's them who's haunting me
32
And it's me who's haunting you
33
And I'll follow you until the day
34
That you're a spirit too
35
And that's my ghost story.
