Charlotte Corday lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Charlotte Corday lyrics (Al Stewart/Tori Amos) 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 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 Stars in the window like a panoply Covering everything River of night Stars in the window See them shining for Anyone else, anyone else 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 is now turning gray The dawn is turning away The ghost of Charlotte Corday song lyrics
