Mercyful Fate Banshee lyrics

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 its haunted tune
Under our window is the banshee
Wailing its 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, this banshee cannot stay
But before the night is dying, a life will slip away

Under our window is the banshee
Wailing its haunted tune
Under our window is the banshee
Wailing its 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
Oh, I can feel you getting colder, is it time for you or I?

Under our window is the banshee
Wailing its haunted tune
Under our window is the banshee
Wailing its haunted tune too soon

Let it be me
