Banshee Songtext
von Natalie Hemby

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
