Edenbridge The Canterville Ghost Lyrics

The Canterville Ghost Lyrics

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)
