John Wesley Harding
Your Ghost (Don’t Scare Me No More)
[Verse 1]
Your ghost visits every night at midnight
I can hear the clanging of your chains
First you frightened me but now somehow
I'm pleased to see you've come again

[Verse 2]
And I used to be so terrified to hear you
Moaning like the hinges on the door
But now that late night sound is like a lullaby to me
Though I know I won't be sleeping anymore
No, I know I won't be sleeping anymore, yeah

[Chorus]
Your ghost, your ghost
Opens the door
Your ghost, your ghost
Don't scare me no more
Don't scare me no more

[Verse 3]
Every night we sit up in the darkness
And talk about whoever's on your mind
Someone did away with you and so you're doomed to limbo
That's another theory you've opined
That's a spooky theory you've opined, yeah
[Chorus]
Your ghost, your ghost
Creeps on the floor
Your ghost, your ghost
Don't scare me no more
Don't scare me no more

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
Your ghost, your ghost
Opens the door
Your ghost, your ghost
Don't scare me no more
Don't scare me no more

[Verse 4]
Your ghost and my human living body
Turns out that we are the best of friends
If the story is you're coming home to haunt me
I'm pleased to say it has a happy end
