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, 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
