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)
