The Canterville Ghost Lyrics

Time stands still in Canterville
For ages this curse lays upon
Pass the night walking for four hundred years
Longing for this liaisonThe barren almond once shed the leaves
The splendor has crumbled away
This harm was done and the green-eyed one
Once it had led him astrayHere in the absence of light
Let a willing ear roam
And far into the night
A ray of hope will lead you homeSo will you stand beside
Among those evil-eyed?
Voices will whisper into your ear
So believe you're immuneSo will you beg and pray?
To leave this endless gray
Once of his age he was boast
The Canterville ghostBathing 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 onBut 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 newHere in the absence of light
Let a willing ear roam
And far into the night
A ray of hope will lead you homeSo will you stand beside
Among those evil-eyed?
Voices will whisper into your ear
So believe you're immuneSo will you beg and pray?
To leave this endless gray
Once of his age he was boast
The Canterville ghostTears for my sins
I have no more
Now pray for me
I know what forAngel will you
Have mercy now?
And the house
Shall be stillSo will you stand beside
Among those evil-eyed?
Voices will whisper into your ear
So believe you're immuneSo will you beg and pray?
To leave this endless gray
Once of his age he was boast
The Canterville ghost
