THE BANSHEE lyrics

There was an awful night
when the banshee came for me
I said what do you want
she said to set you free

I said I’m just not ready yet
she said you wanna bet
and when I Iooked up at the Moon
I was such a stupid get

the banshee o the banshee
young and wild and beautiful
terrifying me
red of eye and red of hair
she was such a fright
coming to me unaware
out of the blackest night

the door was open to the storm
the wind howled like dog
she took my hand to find the land
of Gog and of Magog

I said I just don't want to know
she said you have to go
when I come to take a man
a man just can't say no

ooooo la la la la
ooooo la la la

the banshee o the banshee
young and wild and beautiful
terrifying me
red of eye and red of hair
she was such a sight
coming to me on a dare
out of the blackest night

when I woke I was alone
and falling in my bed
agoraphobia a stone
sinking like the dead

and when I managed to get up
and stagger to the fire
the coffee ready in the cup
and death was on the wire

ooooo la la la la
ooooo la la la

the banshee o the banshee
young and wild and beautiful
terrifying me
red of eye and red of hair
sucking up all light
a real to god nightmare
out of the blackest night
