Marc Cohn
Giving Up the Ghost
[Verse 1]
Deep in the night
She quietly creeps
Sometime she moans
Sometime she weeps
When the wind starts a howling
Out of control
She's trouble in mind
She's nothing but soul

[Verse 2]
Now don't feel afraid
There's nothing to fear
It's just strange visitations
Year after year
She gave me something I needed
But now the feeling is gone
And it's high time I told her
She's gonna have to move on

[Chorus]
From the Erie lake
To the hills that shake
I've been haunted on every coast
I might miss her I know
But I'm letting it go
I'm giving up the ghost
Giving up the ghost
[Verse 3]
Last night she came in
At the usual time
Twelve is the number
That the church bells did chime
But the wind didn't blow
There was barely a breeze
Just a light shining over
The sycamore trees

[Chorus]
From the Erie lake
To the hills that shake
I've been haunted on every coast
I might miss her I know
But I'm letting it go
Giving up the ghost
Giving up the ghost

[Outro]
Now I'm feeling much better
But I'm still on the brink
I just got a letter
In vanishing ink
