Five nights ago I saw my first ghost She was beautiful but sad of heart And tired of being true She said take me please Love is a rare disease I cradled her head And washed her cold hands She lifts her eyes and smiles while tears float down And come to rest She said stay with me until I fall asleep Stay with me until I fall asleep uh huh She soon fell asleep Her lips soft as bone I crossed my heart and hoped to live a quiet life alone Take me please love is a rare disease Cast your feet this is the time to leave uh huh
