Something in the Hallway [Verse 1] There’s a light in the window Of the old house down the street, Nobody’s lived there for years now, Still I hear somebody’s feet. [Verse 2] There’s a picture in the hallway, Turned around against the wall, And every time the wind blows, I swear I hear somebody call. [Chorus] Something in the hallway, Something I can’t see, Maybe just an old house Playing tricks on me. Something in the hallway, Waiting in the dark, I don’t know what started it— I just know there’s something there. [Verse 3] Found a key beneath the floorboard, Found a name carved in the door, Found a letter with no ending Dated nineteen forty-four. [Instrumental Break — simple tremolo guitar, steady drums, low organ in the background] [Verse 4] I could leave the whole thing buried, I could walk away tonight, But that window keeps on glowing With that same pale yellow light. [Final Chorus] Something in the hallway, Something I can’t see, Maybe just an old house Keeping company. Something in the hallway, Quiet as can be— And every night at midnight, It waits there patiently. [Outro — guitar riff fades, single organ note]
