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 
 
Here in the absence of light 
let a willing ear roam 
and far into the night 
a ray of hope will lead you home 

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 

Here in the absence of light 
let a willing ear roam 
and far into the night 
a ray of hope will lead you home 

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  

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 

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
