Giving Up The Ghost Lyrics - Join The Parade - Marc Cohn

Deep in the night she quietly creeps 

Sometimes she moans, sometimes she weeps 

When the wind starts a howlin' out of control 

Shes trouble in mind, shes nothin' but soul 

Now dont feel afraid theres nothin' to fear 

Its just strange visitations year after year 

She gave me somethin' I needed but now the feeling is gone 

And its high time I told her shes gonna have to move on 

From the eerie lake to the hills that shake 

Ive been haunted on every coast 

I might miss her I know but Im letting it go 

Im 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 didnt blow, there was barely a breeze 

Just a light shinin' over the sycamore trees 

From the eerie lake to the hills that shake 

Ive been haunted on every coast 

I might miss her in know but Im letting it go 

Im givin' up the ghost, givin' up the ghost 

Now feelin' much better but Im still on the brink 

I just got a letter in vanishing ink
