NO DEVILS

==============================

I hope that's a tree
Scratchin against my window
I hope that's a branch
Blowing in the wind
I pray that ain't no devils
Creeping and scratching
Clawing and tapping
Climbing up my gutter pipe
Trying to get in

I hope that's a bird
Walking on my rooftop
I hope that's a crow
Restless in the night
I pray that ain't no devils
Creeping and scratching
Clawing and tapping
Crawling down my chimney
To blow out my candlelight

I hope that's an echo
Calling down the hallway
I hope that's my 'magination
Playing a foolish game
I pray that ain't no devils
Creeping and scratching
Clawing and tapping
Shuffling up the backstairs
Whispering my name

I hope that's just my shadow
Standing in the doorway
I hope that's just the moon
That makes it look all dead inside
I pray that ain't no devils
Creeping and scratching
Clawing and tapping
Bloody eyes a-glowing
Come to take me for a ride
