Last night I saw a ghost on the beach
And he said to me
"Don't you leave me alone"
And so I turned and asked him why
I'm not afraid to die
But I'm scared to leave my home
I'm so afraid
When you laugh at the things I say
And are you lonely mister moon?
In the sky
When the people say goodnight
I can tell you're listening through the clouds
Are you lonely mister ghost?
On the beach
Is that why you came to me?
I can tell you're talking through the sea
I'm so afraid
I'm so afraid
I'm so afraid
I'm so afraid
I'm so afraid
I'm so afraid
I'm so afraid
I'm so afraid
(You're not a burden
You're much worse)
You complain
And I disagree
Silhouetted trees
Look down on me
Who is it gonna be?
Is it them, or is it me?
(So then we sent letters to the moon
Cast them all up in a red balloon
Who is it going to be?)
