Lyrics

GHOST IN THE ATTIC

Words & Music – Dave Nachmanoff

A gentle creaking on the stairs and I turn around
She’s coming down now, I know she’s coming down
A slight disturbance in the air and a tiny sound
She’s coming down now, I know she’s coming down

CHORUS:

I’m not afraid, it’s the ghost in my attic
I’m not afraid, but I feel wistful at times
She’s all I’ve got, this ghost in my attic
I hear the echo of her voice each time the clock chimes

For 50 years we shared this house in life and love
She’s not gone, not really gone now
Maybe she couldn’t stand to leave me here alone
Maybe it’s me who can’t stand to let her go

(CHORUS)

Bridge:

And the kids say its just memories
The doctor says its grief
But I’ve seen her in the mirror in the hall
It doesn’t matter much, that nobody else believes
She’s real enough for me

A sudden flicker of the lamp beside my bed
I hear her voice, she says “I love you”
I pull the quilt she made up tight, lay down my head
She says goodnight, and I know she’s with me

(CHORUS)
