The Skeleton Band Lyrics by Sara Lovell

You’ve Got Me

2016

When the sun has set and the spooky night is falling
You hear a lonely animal howling at the moon
After you're in bed and all your dreams are calling
Out there in the darkness you can hear a little tune
Your heart is beating fast, your eyes are getting wider
Your hands and feet are tingling, it’s hard to catch your breath
You creep into the night, one foot then the other
Careful not to make a sound you take another step
Then they blew the horn and beat the drum
And on the small guitar they strummed
They rattled, oh they rattled
As they danced the night away
They shook those skinny bones again
And played another song - amen
With instruments in hand
You hear the skeleton band
You take a closer look as you peer into the clearing
What you see before you, your eyes cannot believe
All around the fire, the players in a circle
Banded here together on this fateful winter’s eve
Spiders in their webs, casting creepy shadows
Bats are flying overhead though you remain unseen
Watching all the while these spindly musicians
Crows are cawing out as someone shakes a tambourine
And they blew the horn and beat the drum
And on the small guitar they strummed
They rattled oh they rattled
As they danced the night away
They shook those skinny bones again
And played another song - amen
With instruments in hand
You hear the skeleton band
And the violins played
For this midnight serenade
And the bones and branches swayed
In this moonlight escapade
When the moon is full and the night is almost over
Shifting in your bed, morning’s coming soon
Still within your dreams, underneath the covers
Out there in the darkness you can hear a little tune
