Bump in the Night

Bump in the Night
Ingeborg von Agassiz

dollhouse in the attic
cobwebs beneath the eaves
phantoms in the shadows
and rosary beads

fingers clutching tight
evil spirits out of sight
praying to a ghost
on a foggy winter night

then a creak and thump
and things that go bump
I'm a trembling soul
See me dance, see me jump
from the things
that go bump

the wind whistles and moans
I hear a lost and starving child
who i should let inside
safe from the cold and wild

but I open up the door
and no one is standing there
just an eerie silence
and a bleakness in the air

then a creak and thump
and things that go bump
I'm a trembling soul
See me dance, see me jump
from the things
that go bump
