The Canterville Ghost Lyrics - Edenbridge

Time stands still in Canterville 

For ages this curse lays upon 

Pass the night walking for four hundred years 

Longing for this liaison 

The 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 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
