The Ghost!!!

I

I live in a house with no windows

A black curtain hangs on my door.

The voices of conscience torment me

I live in a room with no floor.

II

There's dirt in the corner I can't see

There's water that runs down the wall.

There're mice in the attic above me

And rats playing games in the hall.

III

I live in a house with no windows

And sleep in a room with no heat.

The darkness of life that surrounds me

Keeps out the sounds of the street.

IV

I wake when the shadows have fallen

And walk when the memories cease.

When purpose in life has no meaning

And only the wicked find peace.

V

Each night you sense that I'm by you

You feel my breath as you sleep.

You hear the faint creak of the floorboards

As out from the shadows I creep.

VI

I live in a house with no windows

I live in a house that's now yours

It's my voice you think that you're hearing

For I died in this room with no doors.
