Mercyful Fate - Banshee

I heard it, in my sleep last night
I heard it, in your sleep last night
Now I can hear it again, outside the night is sad
I know it's not the wind, outside the night is black

Under our window is the banshee
Wailing it's haunted tune
Under out window is the banshee
Waiting it's haunted tune too soon

I know that, I must tell you a lie
I know that, it could be you and not I
Before the sun is rising, the banshee cannot stay
Before the night is dying, a life will slip away

Under our window is the banshee
Wailing it's haunted tune
Under out window is the banshee
Waiting it's haunted tune too soon

I must light a fire, to chase away the night
Let us hold each other tight
The cats are gone, I guess they know
Oh, they know what's gonna come

The wailing is so much louder, I need to hold you tight
I can feel you getting colder, is it time for you or I?

Under our window is the banshee
Wailing it's haunted tune
Under out window is the banshee
Waiting it's haunted tune too soon

Let it be me
