Oh must you go? At midnight all the evil things in the world Will have full sway Take my crucifix And wear it round your neck for everyone that you love Wear it for me Standing in the courtyard of the castle Rolling clouds obscure the moon You crossed the guard against the evil eye And now you know you've come too soon You know you've come too soon Now I read ghostly fears In the beauty of the scene, try to think They can't beat me I summon in my head What the moonlit pines have seen while I dream And now I'm there Standing in the courtyard of the castle Rolling clouds obscure the moon I crossed the guard against the evil eye And now I know I've come too soon I know I've come too soon All that I'm hearing Is all I'm fearing The baying of the wolves And the strange ways here are not for me Standing in the courtyard of the castle Rolling clouds obscure the moon You crossed the guard against the evil eye And now you know you've come too soon I think of home now It's so far away In the courtyard of the castle's where I'm bound to stay It's where I'm bound to stay
