Lyrics

[INTRO]
In the shadows, lurking near,
Whispers echo, cold with fear.
Pale and twisted, time has worn,
A tale of fright, where dark is born.

[VERSE 1]
Perched up high on the closet shelf,
A figure waits, devoid of self.
Long grey hair like brittle strands,
A raven's call with gnarled hands.

These empty eyes, they pierce the night,
A beacon for the fading light.
In her sweater, dark as coal,
She pulls you in, consumes your soul.

[CHORUS]
Oh, the tall old woman, she’s come to play,
In the heart of the shadows, she’ll steal you away.
With secrets untold from the days gone by,
Beware the closet, don’t ask her why.

[VERSE 2]
Every creak of the old wood floor,
Sends shivers down as she hatches more.
Her laugh, a sinuous, haunting song,
Echoes softly, you can’t stay long.

A bird-like chirp, she calls your name,
In her dark nest, you’re caught in her game.
With crooked fingers, she beckons near,
A promise of nightmares, cloaked in fear.

[CHORUS]
Oh, the tall old woman, she’s come to stay,
In the heart of the shadows, she’ll steal you away.
A ghost of the past with a twisted smile,
Beware the closet, it stretches a mile.

[BRIDGE]
In the midnight hour, she rules her domain,
Each flickering candle fuels her disdain.
For the lost and broken, she bides her time,
Turning your heartbeat to an eerie rhyme.

[HOOK]
What do you see in the flickering light?
The tall old woman, a looming fright.
Will you step closer, take a stand?
Once she takes hold, you’ll not slip from her hand.

[CHORUS]
Oh, the tall old woman, she’s come to play,
In the heart of the shadows, she’ll steal you away.
With secrets untold from the days gone by,
Beware the closet, don’t ask her why.

[OUTRO]
In the shadows, her laughter rings,
A wind in the night, that dark love sings.
