Lonely Little Ghostie
© 2015, Sue Fink

Oh I’m a lonely little ghostie, singin’ to myself
Knockin’ over books that were just sittin’ on the shelf
I’m a-waitin’ on a someone while I wail my mournful tune
I thought I saw his shadow pass across the blood-red moon
Aaa-oooooh…

I’m a lonely little ghostie and there’s not much that I want, just a
Feller of my own, someone whom I could really haunt
He’d pale as I’d sail through his room, he’d shiver at my touch
He’d wonder ‘bout me sometimes, I don’t think I ask too much
Aaa-oooooh…

If a tree falls in a forest, who cares if it makes a sound
If no one’s there to witness its demise
I’m levitating all alone, so what if I perfect my moan
Why clank my chain and play the game
If no one hears my cries… aaa-oooooh
…
If no one comes to visit, think I’ll soar out to the sea
I hear there are some buoys afloat who’d LOVE a ghoul like me
Just a lonely little ghostie, a-prayin’ for the day
A someone comes into this house so I can hear him say:
EEEEEEEEE! Aaa-oooooh… What IS that? Aaa-oooooh…
This is scary, I’m leaving! Aaa-oooooh… Wait, don’t go! Ooooooh…
Lonleeeeeeey little ghostie!

Sue Fink Chicago, Illinois

Chicago-based singer-songwriter Sue Fink enchants audiences with her whimsical perspective on the world. Her genre, “urban campfire cabaret,” is folk with a hint of jazz, a large dollop of humor, and a drop of sadness for good measure: think Christine Lavin, with a dash of Rickie Lee Jones, Melanie, and Nellie McKay. ... more
