The Ghosts Come Out At Midnight
By Ronald McCalip
The ghosts come out
about midnight
They walk from
churchyard to knave
The ghosts walk about
at midnight
Both nobleman and the
Slave
The ghosts come out
at midnight
Both the timid and
the brave
The ghosts come out
near midnight
Out and away from the
foul grave
Some come out to seek
justice
Some come back for a
need
Some come for
forgiveness
Some come to watch us
bleed.
The ghosts come out by
midnight
Yet they haunt both
night and day
The ghosts come out
at midnight
The Poltergeists just
want to play
The ghosts they walk
at midnight
Some are summoned by
a friend
The ghosts they walk by
midnight
For some, midnight will
never end
Some come out and
wail
Some come out and
moan
Some show up as just a mist
Some reveal only
bones
The ghosts arise at
midnight
We don’t see them
much during day
The ghosts arise by
midnight
To see, some would
even pay
The ghosts they walk by
midnight
Some wish never, they
pray.
The ghosts come out
at midnight
So sad they never
stay.
Some come back for
evil
Some come out for
good
Some come out because
they’re lost
Some are
misunderstood
My ghosts, they walk
at midnight
Spirits in a bottle
are no defense
My ghosts haunt me at
midnight
They want their recompense
My ghosts are with me
day and night
They are forever with
me hence
My ghosts are up at
midnight
Sometimes it’s quite
intense
