The Ghosts That Haunt Me Lyrics - The Ghosts That Haunt Me - Crash Test Dummies

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 heels 

There 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 heels 

There 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 comes 

There 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
