Lyrics

Are you afraid of the dark?
Did you hear whispers in the shadows?
Are you woken by the sounds of the floorboards creaking?
Or maybe it was somebody speaking

After midnight
When everything is quiet
Did you hear footsteps on the stair?
Even though there’s no-one there
It just the sound of your heart beating

Oh there’s nothing here to be afraid of
There’s nothing at all
I live alone amongst the ghosts
They keep me awake
They talk to me
They keep me company
Oh there’s nothing here to be afraid of
I’ve been here for years
I live alone with all my memories
Some of them are fading
But one thing I know – they never go

Do you know the story
Of the man who was afraid?
He locked all the doors and said
“This is what I’ll do
I’ll hide in the closet” but the ghost was in there too

Are you afraid of the dark?
I’m sure I just saw something moving
Are you woken by the sounds of the floorboards creaking?
Or maybe it was somebody speaking

Oh there’s nothing here to be afraid of
There’s nothing at all
I live alone amongst the ghosts
They keep me awake
They talk to me
They keep me company
Oh there’s nothing here to be afraid of
I’ve been here for years
I live alone with all my memories
Some of them are fading
But one thing I know – they never go
But one thing I know – they never go
