Kim Carnes - Checkin' Out The Ghosts lyrics

The wind blows cold and the river swells And the new moon's going wild And the walls grow thin It's the state I'm in You'll just have to excuse me tonight Cause I'm just checkin' out the ghosts Checkin' out the ghosts We wake the beast when we stir the fire We just can't let it be After all these years sometimes I still want you near And it runs bone deep Cause I'm just checkin' out the ghosts Seeing if they're still here Hiding in the closet Cause its helly in here Checkin' out the ghosts I'm just checkin' out the ghosts I'm just checkin' out the ghosts Seeing if they're still here Hiding in the closet Weighing down the air Just checkin' out the ghosts Sleeping in my bed Running down my back Messing up my head I'm just checkin' the ghosts Just checkin' out the ghost I'm just checkin' out the ghosts
