House of Jacob

There's a story she told me About a ghost in this room He's walking at night With a stick and a broom And he sits down beside me He looks in my eye His face is so pale Like the moon in the sky In the house of Jacob There's a tape in a shoe box With the voice of a boy He's singing "She loves you Yeah, yeah, yeah" There's a shop round the corner Where a man's cutting hair He's talking to mirrors He will always be there In the house I grew up In the house of Jacob I don't know how I don't know when He's coming back My long lost friend In the house I grew up In the house of Jacob In a big brown building There's a blue swimming pool It's hot like a desert But the water is cool The tower of Rembrandt Throws a shadow so black On the houses of my street When I'm coming back To the house of Jacob I don't know how I don't know when He's coming back My long lost friend In the house I grew up In the house of Jacob There's a story she told me About a ghost in this room He moves like a cloud And he goes through my head Ghost through my head Ghost through my head
