Cries From A Graveyard

Well I was goin' to see my baby, she lives down a dark and gloomy road
Yea I was goin' to see my baby, she lives down a dark and gloomy road
She live right past a graveyard, I can hear those cryin' souls.
Those whispers in the night, always tuggin' at my soul.
Can you hear it at your door?
The echos of the past that just want a little more
Love ain't easy, it's a heavy load
For shadows in the moonlight down that dark and gloomy road
Now that graveyard be full of ghosts, graveyard be full of moans
I said that graveyard be full of ghosts, graveyard be full of moans
All them broken hearts and lost loves, buried deep beneath those stones
Every night I hear them sighin' in the twilight they resound
Can you hear it at your door?
The echos of the past that just want a little more
Love ain't easy, it's a heavy load
For shadows in the moonlight down that dark and gloomy road
There's a ghost who cries out lonely
A ghost that lost his love
A ghost that screams she had it all
But it never was enough
Cries from a graveyard, I can hear those moaning souls.
Lonely hearts and lost love, buried deep beneath those stones
It's the hour of the wolf
Can you feel it creepin' in?
Hope is just a flicker, wrapped up tight in sin
If you find yourself some good love
You won't be cryin' out for more
Just take my hand and walk with me
Past the old graveyard door.
Well I'm goin' to see my baby, she lives down a dark and gloomy road
Yea I'm goin' to see my baby, she lives down a dark and gloomy road
Yea I was goin' to see my baby, she lives down a dark and gloomy road
