Extra Information I wrote this song in 1975 for lyrics by a former friend. The lyrics are under his copyright. Therefore I am not allowed to use the title. I can only publish it as a 'Song without Words' since the words are not myn own. In 1975 I was young. Now almost 40 years later I decided to publish the song in a very short instrumental version in a setting for flute and harp. The flute may be replaced by other woodwinds, the harp by nylon guitar or piano. The lyrics consisted of severel verses. The length of this setting, including a short intro and a short coda, corresponds to one verse. The lyrics were about a lonesome ghost in a castle, comparable to the Canterville ghost. Untypical for me this little song is very happy and joyful. Therefore I wish to share it.
