Moonlight between the pines Footsteps walking behind Following too close for comfort Dressed in her ivory Lace hanging from her sleeve Tattered and torn by a lover ♪ Alone on her wedding day, 1878 Same bells ringing through the church Blue eyes and auburn hair She thought he was standing there 'Cause mine's a dead ringer for hers Oh-oh-oh-oh, banshee Please leave my lover alone Oh-oh-oh-oh Please don't take him 'cause yours is dead and gone
Mine is the hand he takes But she wants him anyway Seal it off with a kiss But little does she know That mine is not a ghost That they buried her heart with Oh-oh-oh-oh, banshee Please leave my lover alone Oh-oh-oh-oh Please don't take him 'cause yours is dead and gone ♪ As he lays next to me He sees you in his dreams Lingering over the bed But legend has been told If you wanna kill a ghost You gotta send them back to the dead Oh-oh-oh-oh, banshee Please leave my lover alone Oh-oh-oh-oh, banshee Don't take him 'cause yours is dead and gone Oh-oh-oh-oh, banshee If you don't let us rest in peace ♪ I'll leave you running Like a banshee
