Things that go BUMP in the night....
Story behind the song
I always wanted to write a "spooky" song--and so I finally did.
Lyrics
Spirits
A figure approached me, it was well after dark
As I walked home through the neighborhood park
He came right up to me and passed right on through me
The spirit’s still roaming around
And little Billy died when he was seven years old
Still, in his hometown, the story is told
They say he sings as he plays on the swings
His spirit’s still roaming around
And many will tell you of Emily’s ghost
She won’t say a word till she gets very close
And then she’ll whisper the name of her killer
The spirit’s still roaming around
A sound on the stairway, a noise in the hall
A shadow that passes ‘cross the bedroom wall
A face in the mirror that fills you with fear
The spirit’s still roaming around
Attracting attention, awaiting redemption
The spirit’s still roaming around
They’ll be here among us until they get justice
The spirit’s still roaming around
You won’t have to search hard to find them in graveyards
The spirit’s still roaming around
The spirit’s still roaming around
