Please Don't Haunt Me

(album: Water Of Dreams - 1982)

You haunt me baby, since you been gone
It's as quiet as a graveyard, and it's as cold as a tomb
The other night I heard some noises up in your room
Someone was looking for something up there in the gloom

You haunt me baby, since you went away
You haunt me baby, night, noon and day
I know you're living somewhere but it seems like you're dead
I'm sleeping with my eyes open, and I'm shaking in my bed

You haunt me baby, I can smell your perfume
I can feel you somewhere in this room
You haunt me baby, is this some kind of test?
Please don't haunt me baby, let this poor soul get some rest

You haunt me baby, I hear footsteps on the stairs
And I turn on the light but there ain't nobody there
So I leave on the light cos I hear laughter in the dark
When I cover up my ears I just hear my pounding heart

You haunt me baby, I've got a charm round my neck
I bought a lucky black cat, put a ring of salt round my bed
But last night the lucky black cat got scared and ran
So please don't haunt me baby, I'm a worried man

Haunt me baby, I can smell your perfume
I can feel you somewhere in this room
You haunt me baby, is this some kind of test
Please don't haunt me baby, let this poor soul get some rest
