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]
