Intro: | | / | | / / || verse 1: There’s a skeleton in every body’s closet I can think of one or two in my own room But I would like to intro - duce them both to you Shake their bony hands and so dispel the gloom Cause your so kind I know you would not mind - You’d send away the ghosts that haunt me now And the things I fear Just wouldn’t seem so near And when I stroll out late at night / / / | / / / | There would be nothin’ rattlin’ at my heels 2nd:x / / / | / / | ||: | :|| verse 2: There are nights when all my aching bones won’t let me sleep And demons come to plague me as I lie in bed But I know if you were sleeping there be - side me then That you would fend them off and they would let me rest Bridge: There are nights When the wind comes howling through my old place I have dreams And I wake up with the sweat pouring down my face | ||: | :|| And I wait......... Till the morning comes ?

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque les peurs personnelles que chacun peut cacher, symbolisées par des « fantômes » et des « démons » qui hantent l'esprit. L'auteur parle d'une intimité profonde, souhaitant partager ces angoisses avec une personne bienveillante qui pourrait les apaiser. Les moments de solitude et d'insomnie sont décrits avec une certaine mélancolie, illustrant la recherche d'un réconfort face à l'incertitude de la vie. Au fil des vers, l'espoir d'une connexion perdure, même au-delà de la mort, promettant une présence réconfortante dans des périodes de détresse.
