Lonely Road

They walked like ghosts along the lane Man, woman and child plus a dog as well These ghostly figures nearly sent me insane Where are they going I can’t tell The dog suddenly realises that I am here Turns his head to look, not a friendly face Didn’t bark or show that I was this near Then as suddenly they all just disappeared Oh my this is spooky I thought to myself Did I cause that apparition to appear Was it my fear of walking in the dark Wishing that someone else was here I mentioned it to my folks when I got home They looked at one another and said That was the Jones family they were overcome By fumes in their home, were asleep in their bed The whole family perished was such a sad tale Regularly they will meet you if worried about the dark If you are very frightened, they will lighten the trail Once the dog sees you, it’s the signal for them to depart Once more I walk this lonely trail of life Hearts cant be broken if you walk alone Whoever said that deserves a life of strife Making it sound that love is just a token
