Here's the story of a human tragedy
Of a dear old friend
Who turned on me.
I watch the demons steal
So straight from her eyes.
But she pays the crooked pay
As if it was no surprise.

Uh now she's gone
She's gone.
She's not quite
Who she used to be.
Now Katie's ghost
Cruel and cold
Is haunting...
Uh now she's gone
She's gone.
She's not quite
Who she used to be.
Now Katie's ghost
Cruel and cold
Is haunting me.

See now my heart's full of agony.
For this is a song of sorrow
That I sing.
Cause every day I pray
Shows deeper misery.

Uh now she's gone
She's gone.
She's not quite
Who she used to be.
Now Katie's ghost
Cruel and cold
Is haunting...
Uh now she's gone
She's gone.
She's not quite
Who she used to be.
Now Katie's ghost
Cruel and cold
Is haunting me.

(solo)

Uh now she's gone
She's gone.
She's not quite
Who she used to be.
Now Katie's ghost
Cruel and cold
Is haunting...
Uh now she's gone
She's gone.
She's not quite
Who she used to be.
Now Katie's ghost
Cruel and cold
Is haunting me.

Well I've tried so hard
To make you right
To pull her out
Of a cold, dark and lonely night.
But you won't dare
To take one single step into the light.

Uh now she's gone
She's gone.
She's not quite
Who she used to be.
Now Katie's ghost
Cruel and cold
Is haunting...
Uh now she's gone
She's gone.
She's not quite
Who she used to be.
Now Katie's ghost
Cruel and cold
Is haunting me.
