lyrics

Ghost of Tom

Have you seen the ghost of Tom?
Long white robe and no skin on.
Wo oh oh oh oh wo oh oh oh oh,
Wouldn't it be chilly with no skin on?

Have you heard the bluebird sing?
Far and wide it was lingering.
Wo oh oh oh oh wo oh oh oh oh,
Wouldn't it be fine to hear the bluebird sing?

Have you felt the summer rain?
Falling on your skin again.
Wo oh oh oh oh wo oh oh oh oh,
Wouldn't it be cool to feel the summer rain.
