Where Cold Shivers Grow

The old ice house is where it happened The old ice house where cold still grows We ventured down the hidden old footpath By the stream where now only the ducks go A dare to see past the old iron fence A dare to go over the ivy strewn wall To creep through the overgrowth In the sunken garden where wild flowers grow 'Tis there where we witnessed something strange An eerie shadow cast over the stone Behind us fast movement but nothing seen Though we knew something was watching us go We stopped and looked at each-other We knew something now was wrong Had we ventured too deep past the folly Had we stepped where no one should go Now movement happened around us With sounds unholy and low Shadows danced through the bracken that shouldn't be Without some kind of form As we looked up-ahead we could see The old ice house entrance; like a hole in the wall We wanted to go further but we couldn't you see Because as we looked we saw a dark shadow grow Then some noise of a squawk type of moaning Then a figure out of the shadow was born It looked at us and appeared to stand staring We both thought it's time we should go I have never moved so fast with such dexterity Like a commando I manoeuvred over the wall Like a jungle cat through the trees Until I got back onto the old road I turned to see where you were I heard movement, some weird sounds, then there was nothing and none I know this sounds so weird but please you must see Please Mr policeman I can't tell you where he'd be or where he has gone But please Mr policeman don't try to see what we did see Please, please, please don't go over that wall.
