lyrics

Hush now baby, hold me tight
It’s just something going bump in the night
Bump in the night
Something will go bump tonight
Don’t be frightened
My embrace just tightened
Around you, all night long so sshhh

Was that something downstairs?
It can’t be up here
Because there’s nothing happening in the bedroom... yet.

Hush now baby, hold your tongue
There’s nothing too unusual going on
It’s just the wind in the tree
Why don’t you move close to me?
It’s really nothing
But you must want something
To keep waking up all night

When I need your love so bad
I think of all the love we’ve had
An apparition of what once was
Has been kicking up a fuss
There’s a poltergeist of pure romance
That makes our old four-poster dance
Supernatural aid, supernatural aid
Behind the loving that we’ve made

Was something blowing in your ear
But when you open up your eyes it disappeared?
There’s nothing to fear
Hold on, darling, I’m here
What’s that sounding?
Is it your heart pounding?
Just knock three times for ‘yes’

When I need your love so bad
I think of all the love we’ve had
There are ghosts of memories of love
That I keep dreaming of
There’s a wraith of writhing hands and limbs
That screeches when the night light dims
Supernatural aid, supernatural aid
Behind the loving that we’ve made

Do you feel the energy? Do you feel the force?
Shaking through the windows and the doors
You wonder where it’s coming from
The ghost of loving past is present
And so is the ghost of loving yet-to-come

Do you feel a presence in the room?
Well, that’s just me
It’s me blowing in your ear
But since you’re awake now

Supernatural aid, supernatural aid
Behind the loving that we’ve made
