The Attic Song

Close the door or I shall never get to sleep

I hear an attic window banging in the east

And the fear said, "I haven't finished with you yet"

On the light or I shall panic in the gloom

And slip away to wander room on empty room

And the fear said, "I haven't finished with you yet"

And the fear said, "I haven't finished with you yet"

And like a hammer in my head

It gives me no respite

And the fear said, "I haven't finished with you yet"

Mother dear, oh was I such a wicked child

That sleep should never come to limbs that ran so wild

And like a hammer in my head

Like the ghost I keep inside

It is the thing I've come to dread

It gives me no respite

Can you hear a footstep on the stair

Searched a thousand times but no one's ever there

And the fear said, "I haven't finished with you yet"

And the fear said, "I haven't finished with you yet"
