Lovely To See You
Lovely to see you, it's been a long time
Excuse my appearance, if you can speak, please be kind.
Don't be frightened and don't run away.
I only get visitors on All Hallowes Day.
I'm lonely and restless, I need company my dear
I promise not to bite, if you lend me your ear.
I'm older and colder and falling apart
and longing for the warmth of your quick beating
heart
So please stay awhile and we'll talk of old things
Of mysteries and murder and how the dead sing.
They do you know, they make beatiful sounds
I hear all their music from my abode in the ground.
We should begin, I have much to tell
and when the moon sets, you're not bound by
my spell
I'll tell you my story of grief and woe
and when we are finished, I might let you go.
