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 dispel 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
When I stroll out late at night, there would be nothing rattling at my heelsThere are nights when all my aching bones won't let me sleep
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
'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
When I stroll out late at night, there would be nothing rattling at my heelsThere are nights when the wind comes ravaging my old place
I have dreams and I wake up with the sweat pouring down my face
And I wait till the morning comesThere will come a time I fear when all my days are done
They will come, collect my corpse and bury me
But I hope that you'll come over to the other side
To join me in our new life, keep me company
'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
When I stroll out late at night, there would be nothing rattling at my heels
