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
