[Intro — enchanting humming]
Mmm-mm… mmm-mm…
Ahh-ah… mmm-mm…
[Whisper]
Can you hear me?
[Verse 1]
I’ve sung these halls for ages,
To the darkness and the rain,
Every room repeats my sorrow,
Every night remains the same.
Still I sing for one to find me,
For a soul who’ll hear my plea,
Someone I can call my darling,
Someone who will stay with me.
[Chorus — enchanting humming]
Mmm-mm… come to me…
Ahh-ah… follow me…
Mmm-mm… can’t you hear?
I’m still singing…
I’m still here…
[Verse 2]
Then your footsteps break the silence,
And my empty heart awakes,
I begin to learn your breathing,
Every little move you make.
You don’t see me in the doorway,
As I follow patiently,
There are others in the darkness…
But there’s only one for me.
[Whisper]
You.
[Chorus]
Mmm-mm… come to me…
Ahh-ah… follow me…
Mmm-mm… don’t you fear…
I am singing…
I am near…
[Verse 3]
Why won’t you turn around, my darling?
I’ve been calling out your name.
Did you feel me brush beside you?
Do you think this is a game?
Just acknowledge that you hear me,
Turn around and you will see,
I have waited here forever…
Won’t you spend forever with me?
[Bridge — distorted, building]
You’re growing tired,
I hear it in your breath.
Your hands are shaking,
Your heart pounds in your chest.
Is my song inside your head now?
Does it follow when you run?
Every note will make you weaker,
And my singing isn’t done.
You can hide behind the doorway,
You can beg your heart be still,
But I chose you from the others…
[Whisper]
And I always get my will.
[Chorus — layered voices]
Mmm-mm… come to me…
Ahh-ah… stay with me…
Close your eyes now,
Hear my song…
You won’t be lonely…
For long…
[Verse 4 — soft, intimate]
There you are, my precious darling,
No more running, no more doors,
No more hiding in the darkness,
No more footsteps on the floors.
I can feel your heartbeat slowing,
I can feel you letting go,
And the song that brought you to me
Is the final sound you’ll know.
Death is only one last doorway,
Take my hand and you will see,
I have sung so long to find you…
Now you’re here eternally.
[Final — two voices humming]
Mmm-mm… mmm-mm…
Ahh-ah… mmm-mm…
[A second voice slowly joins her melody.]
[Banshee whispers]
See?
You knew the song all along.
