Hush child let me tell you a tale
Of a ghost and a girl
When darkness assailed.
There once was a girl
Who believed in the paranormal
And would turn at the slightest sounds in a whirl.
Hush child and listen to my tale
Of a ghost and a girl
When darkness assailed.
She would always turn on a light
To illuminate what lay in the shadows
When she went about in the night.
Hush child and devour my tale
Of a ghost and a girl
When darkness assailed.
Living alone was she
When the darkness sought her out
And attempted to corrupt her psyche.
Hush child, now listen closely to this tale
Of a ghost and a girl
When darkness assailed.
As she left the door to her room
She froze where she stood
As she gazed upon her doom.
Hush child, pay attention to my tale
Of a ghost and a girl
When darkness assailed.
There stood a man in a top hat
Across the hall
He seemed ready for combat.
Hush child, do you hear the truth in my tale
Of a ghost and a girl
When darkness assailed?
The man stood across from her
Staring and nothing more
But his dark silhouette was a blur.
Hush child, hear now this tale
Of a ghost and a girl
When darkness assailed.
As they stood there
Watching one another
The girl felt a flair
Hush child, accept my tale
Of a ghost and a girl
When darkness assailed.
The girl took a step back
Closing her door
With a resounding SMACK!
Hush child, for this is my tale
Of a ghost and a girl
When darkness assailed.
The girl was frozen and feeling insecure
Staring at the back of her door
For what she felt was simple and pure.
Hush child, it’s almost over, this tale
Of a ghost and a girl
When darkness assailed.
The man in the top hat
Across the hall
Radiated evil, pure and simple as that.
Hush child, the end is near of this tale
Of a ghost and a girl
When darkness assailed.
She stood staring at the door in her room
Never wanting to leave again
For fear of having an early tomb.
Hush child, give ears to this tale
Of a ghost and a girl
When darkness assailed.
There once was a girl
Who believed in the paranormal
And would turn at the slightest sounds in a whirl.
Hush child, just listen to the tale
Of a ghost and a girl
When darkness assailed.
She would always turn on a light
To illuminate what lay in the shadows
When she went about in the night.
Hush child, this ends my tale
Of a ghost and a girl
When darkness assailed.
She lives in fear of the ghost
For she knows he will return
When she thinks she is safe the most.
Hush child, do you believe my tale
Of a ghost and a girl
When darkness assailed?
