I'll Haunt You
Seth Lakeman · Other Songs - Seth Lakeman
On board ship the rumours ride
No one meets my eye
I've thrown your ring out on the tide
I pray my curses fly
To haunt you
Haunt your bed
Tap the windows you'll wake in dread
I pray that you'll love me instead
I'll haunt you, I'll haunt your bed
I've walked alone upon this deck
A thousand times or more
Half a year from my return
These cries fly back to shore
You promised me our love was strong
You said that you'd be true
Go tell yourself I'm long gone
'Cause here's what I will do
I'll haunt you
Haunt your bed
Tap the windows, wake in dread
I pray that you'll love me instead
I'll haunt you, I'll haunt your bed
I'll haunt you
Sleep in fear
Whisper secrets in your ear
A world away but I'll be near
I'll haunt you here
Fear me
Whenever you're sleeping
I will be watching over you
("Fear me..." repeats)
A year at sea since your letter came
To shatter all my plans
You set me free, changed your name
I stretch out these cold hands
to haunt you, haunt your bed
tap the windows, wake in dread
I prayed that you'd love me instead
I'll haunt you, I'll haunt your bed
and I'll haunt you
Sleep in fear
Whisper secrets in your ear
A world away but I'll be near
I'll haunt you here
I'll haunt you, haunt your bed
Tap the windows, wake in dread
I prayed that you'd love me instead
I'll haunt you, I'll haunt your bed
I'll haunt you
("Fear me.." repeats)
