Lyrics
Deep in the night she quietly creeps
Deep in the night, she moves quietly and discreetly.
Sometimes she moans, sometimes she weeps
Her emotions are expressed through moans and weeping at times.
When the wind starts a howlin' out of control
When the wind becomes uncontrollable, possibly symbolizing chaos or turmoil.
She's trouble in mind, she's nothin' but soul
She is a source of trouble in the speaker's mind but is deeply soulful.
Now don't feel afraid there's nothin' to fear
The speaker reassures that there is nothing to fear.
It?s just strange visitations year after year
Mentions strange occurrences happening consistently over the years.
She gave me somethin' I needed but now the feeling is gone
She provided something essential, but the emotional connection has faded.
And it?s high time I told her she's gonna have to move on
The speaker decides it's time to tell her to move on.
From the eerie lake to the hills that shake
Various locations are haunted, indicating the pervasive nature of the haunting.
I've been haunted on every coast
The speaker has been haunted on different coasts and landscapes.
I might miss her I know but I'm letting it go
Although there might be a sense of loss, the speaker is choosing to let go.
I'm givin' up the ghost, givin' up the ghost
The speaker is decisively giving up on the haunting presence.
Last night she came in at the usual time
Describing a typical occurrence of her appearance at night.
Twelve is the number that the church bells did chime
Reference to the time she usually arrives, marked by church bells at midnight.
But the wind didn't blow, there was barely a breeze
The absence of wind and a gentle breeze suggests a calm moment.
Just a light shinin' over the sycamore trees
A subtle light shines over the sycamore trees, possibly representing hope or clarity.
From the eerie lake to the hills that shake
Reiteration of being haunted across different landscapes.
I've been haunted on every coast
Continuation of the haunting experiences in various locations.
I might miss her in know but I'm letting it go
Despite potential feelings of missing her, the speaker is releasing the attachment.
I'm givin' up the ghost, givin' up the ghost
Confirmation of decisively giving up on the haunting presence.
Now feelin' much better but I'm still on the brink
The speaker is feeling better but is still on the edge of something.
I just got a letter in vanishing ink
Receives a letter, possibly representing a message, in disappearing ink.
