If you hear a step upon   Your stair tonight   If you see a shadow in   The candle light   It's only your imagination   Leading you astray   See her for a moment   Then she'll slip away   The ghost of Charlotte Corday      She wanders down the hallway   In a long black dress   And lingers by the fireplace   Like a faint caress   Just what it is that brings her here   No man alive can say   See her for a moment   Then she melts away   The ghost of Charlotte Corday       Stars in the window like a panoply   Covering everything   River of night   Stars in the window   See them shining for   Anyone else, anyone else      THe clock ticks in the dark and now   The night is still   The air is like a murmur   On the window sill   All at once there's someone there   That only you can see   Seeking the forgiveness   That will set her free   The wind has taken away   The words she wanted to say   The sky is now turning gray   The dawn is turning away   The ghost of Charlotte Corday
