The Ghosts of Christmas (original Wall of Sound version)

about

The original Wall of Sound version of The Ghosts of Christmas. Not very synthy, but just as devastating (shout out to the MS-20 though!).

lyrics

Stood beneath the mistletoe
My baby was about to leave
Wrapped up tight to ride his bike
To guard against the freeze

That snowy Christmas eve
I led him to the door
And even after he was out of sight
I could hear his engine roar

The ghosts of Christmas
Are haunting me again
When you left that Christmas eve
My life began to end

The hours came
The hours went
He didn't reappear
And as the clock struck midnight
My heart was struck with fear

And then appeared some visitors
A-knocking at my door
3 wise men
Dressed in blue
With dreadful gifts to bear

The ghosts of Christmas
Are haunting me again
When you left that Christmas eve
My life began to end

They told their tale of sorrow
Of how he met his end
A frozen lake
With shattered ice
Beyond a hairpin bend

The dreadful that was bestowed
My one true love was drowned
And though they searched the lake for days
His body was never found

The ghosts of Christmas
Are haunting me again
When you left that Christmas eve
My life began to end

That was seven long years ago
But the memories never fade
At night I imagine I hear him calling me
From his icy grave
I visit the lake every Christmas eve
And I mourn for what I lost
And every year I find the words I Love You
Etched into the frost

The ghosts of Christmas
Are haunting me again
When you left that Christmas eve
My life began to end

The ghosts of Christmas
Are haunting me again
When you left that Christmas eve
My life began to end
