MANY ARE THE VARIED TALES
TO YOU I COULD TELL
STORIES FROM THE YEARS GONE BY
OF PEOPLE I KNEW WELL
SOME HAVE BEEN AND STAYED A WHILE
OTHERS STAYED FOR YEARS
SOME OF THEM SEEMED FRIENDLY
OTHERS HAD THEIR FEARS
THEY NEVER UNDERSTAND IT
WHEN I COME AROUND
I TRY TO MOVE SO PEACEFULLY
WITHOUT THE FAINTEST SOUND
I THINK THAT SOME HAVE SEEN ME
OTHERS HAVE JUST GUESSED
AND THERE’S NOTHING THEY CAN REALLY DO
WITH UNINVITED GUESTS
I REALLY CANNOT HELP IT
YOU KNOW I’M NOT TO BLAME
I DIDN’T ASK TO BE A SPOOK
IT REALLY IS A SHAME.
