about
A ghost story inspired by a writing professor.
lyrics
C'mon, Barbara, climb up the attic stairs 'cause there's something there you've gotta see.
You're moving in now, and this play has all its players: just you, the bottles, and me.
I didn't know that it would be you until you showed up at my door
And your father sent you up the stairs to clear the bottles from the attic floor.
So walk them down and pour them out (yes pour me out, until I'm empty like the bottles in the sun.)
And pile the glass and have no doubt, no have no doubt that my time in the attic is done,
'Cause they're all that's left... They're all that's left of me...
They're all that's left of me in this world.
C'mon, Barbara, and wipe away those tears 'cause there's something Daddy said to do.
You're getting older, and I've waited all these years just to share my secrets with you.
And I don't know just why I did it. It was something I just had to do.
I filled each bottle with such self control and left them waiting there for you.
So walk them down and pour them out (yes pour me out, until I'm empty like the bottles in the sun.)
And pile the glass and have no doubt, no have no doubt that my time in the attic is done,
'Cause they're all that's left... They're all that's left of me...
They're all that's left of me in this world.
C'mon, Barbara. Climb up the attic stairs 'cause there's something there you've gotta see...
You're moving in now, and this play has all its players: just you, the bottles, and me.
I didn't know that it would be you until you showed up at my door
And your father sent you up the stairs to clear the bottles from the attic floor.
So walk them down and pour them out (yes pour me out, until I'm empty like the bottles in the sun.)
And pile the glass and have no doubt, no have no doubt that my time in the attic is done,
'Cause they're all that's left... They're all that's left of me...
They're all that's left of me in this world.
C'mon, Barbara, and wipe away those tears 'cause there's something Daddy said to do.
You're getting older, and I've waited all these years just to share my secrets with you.
And I don't know just why I did it. It was something I just had to do.
I filled each bottle with such self control and left them waiting there for you.
So walk them down and pour them out (yes pour me out, until I'm empty like the bottles in the sun.)
And pile the glass and have no doubt, no have no doubt that my time in the attic is done,
'Cause they're all that's left... They're all that's left of me...
They're all that's left of me in this world.
C'mon, Barbara. Climb up the attic stairs 'cause there's something there you've gotta see...
