Charlotte Corday

[Intro]     (x4) [Verse 1]   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    [Riff]     [Verse 2] 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    [Riff]     [Bridge] Stars in the window   like a panoply Covering everything river of night Stars in the window   See them shining For anyone else anyone else [Instrumental]     (x6) [Bridge] Stars in the window   like a panoply Covering everything river of night Stars in the window   See them shining For anyone else anyone else [Verse 3] 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 now turning to gray The dawn is turning away The ghost of Charlotte Corday.   [Outro]
