Edenbridge - The Canterville Ghost lyrics

rate me

TIME STANDS STILL IN CANTERVILLE

FOR AGES THIS CURSE LAYS UPON

PASS THE NIGHT WALKING FOR FOURHUNDRED YEARS

LONGING FOR THIS LIAISON

THE BARREN ALMOND ONCE SHED THE LEAVES

THE SPLENDOUR HAS CRUMBLED AWAY

THIS HARM WAS DONE AND THE GREEN-EYED ONE

ONCE IT HAD LED HIM ASTRAY

[PRE-CHORUS]

HERE IN THE ABSENCE OF LIGHT

LET A WILLING EAR ROAM

AND FAR INTO THE NIGHT

A RAY OF HOPE WILL LEAD YOU HOME

[CHORUS]

SO WILL YOU STAND BESIDE

AMONG THOSE EVIL-EYED

VOICES WILL WHISPER INTO YOUR EAR

SO BELIEVE YOU`RE IMMUNE

SO WILL YOU BEG AND PRAY

TO LEAVE THIS ENDLESS GRAY

ONCE OF HIS AGE HE WAS BOAST

THE CANTERVILLE GHOST

BATHING IN TEARS AND SWIM IN DELIGHT

YEARNING FOR FEELINGS LONG GONE

ONE SORRY SIGHT, ONE FLY BY NIGHT

AS THIS GIRL IN HER PRIME CAME ON

BUT LOVE WILL BE STRONGER, THAN LIFE AND DEATH

WHEN CUPID`S DART HAS HIDDEN YOU

AS IF BY MAGIC THE ALMOND WILL BLOOM

THE BEGINNING OF SOMETHING NEW

[PRE-CHORUS]

[CHORUS]

TEARS FOR MY SINS

I HAVE NO MORE

NOW PRAY FOR ME

I KNOW WHAT FOR

ANGEL WILL YOU

HAVE MERCY NOW

AND THE HOUSE SHALL BE STILL

[CHORUS]
