Trouble Sleeping

Close your eyes and contemplate in the night When people say they’ve seen a ghost, are they right? I don’t have an answer Something’s moving in the dark, what was that? Maybe it was just the cat Shadows playing tricks on eyes in the gloom Are there apparitions here in this room?

I don’t have an answer Have the doors and windows all been locked? Chimes are tolling twelve o’clock All these thoughts are turning ‘round in your head Is there any thinking left when you’re dead?
