[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Banshee, please leave my lover alone, oh-oh-oh-oh
Please don't take him 'causе yours is dead and gone

[Verse 3]
Mine is thе 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

[Chorus]
Banshee, please leave my lover alone, oh-oh-oh-oh
Please don’t take him 'cause yours is dead and gone
[Verse 4]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
Banshee, if you don't let us rest in peace
I'll leave you running like a banshee
