Natalie Hemby - Banshee

Verse 1
Moonlight between the pans,
Footsteps walking behind,
Follow it too Close to comfort.
Dressed in new ravelry
Lace hangin' from the sleep,
Tattered and torn by a lover.
Alone on a wedding day
Eighteen and seventy-eight
Faint bells ringin'
From the church.
Blue eyes and auburn hair
She'd thought he was standing there
Cuz mine's a dead ringin' for her.
Chorus
Ooh, Banshee please leave my lover alone.
Ooh, please don't take him to the shores you're steppin' on.

Verse 2
Mine is the handy take,
She wants them anyway
Seal it off with a kiss.

But little does she know
That mine is not a ghost,
That they'd bury her hard work.
Chorus
Ooh, Banshee please leave
My lover alone.
Ooh, please don't take him
To the shores you're steppin' on.

Instrumental
Ooooh ooohh
Ooohh whooo-hoo
Oooh oohh
wooo-hooo ooh

Bridge
He's standing 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 'em back to the dead.

Chorus
Ooh, Banshee please leave
My lover alone.
Ooh, banshee don't take him
To shores you're steppin' on.
Ooh, banshee if you don't
Let us rest in peace,
I'll leave you runnin'
Like a banshee.
