was it a ghost or was it a branch tapping the shutters
on that stormy night when the power quit
on that stormy night when the power quit
in the old hotel
when i silently counted
1 ... 2 ... 3
it tapped
1 ... 2 ... 3
so when i counted
1 ... 2 ... 3 ... 4
it tapped
1 ... 2 ... 3 ... 4
i counted to ten and it tapped ten times
so i closed my eyes tight and hid under two comforters
and if i heard any skeletal steps
i was fast asleep
