Seth Lakeman - I'll Haunt You Lyrics

It's been a year at sea since your letter came to shatter all my plans,
You set me free, changed your name, I stretch out both these hands,
On board ship the news flashed fast, and no-one meets my eye,
I've nailed your ring to our mast, I pray my curses fly

To haunt you, haunt your bed
Tap the windows, you'll wake in dread
I pray that you love me instead
I'll haunt you

I've paced this deck from stem to stern a thousand times or more,
Well, 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 when I'm long gone, for here's what what I will do:

I'll haunt you, haunt your bed
Tap the windows, you'll wake in dread
I pray that you 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.

Fear me! Whenever you're sleeping,
I will be watching
over you. Whenever you're sleeping!

It's been 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, you'll wake in dread
I pray that you love me instead and I'll haunt you, I'll haunt your bed

I'll haunt you, haunt your bed
Tap the windows, you'll wake in dread
I pray that you love me instead
I'll haunt you, I'll haunt you here

I'll haunt you, haunt your bed
Tap the windows, you'll wake in dread
I pray that you love me instead
I'll haunt you.

Fear me! Whenever you're sleeping,
I will be watching
over you. Whenever you're sleeping!
I will be watching
over you. Whenever you're sleeping!
I will be watching
over you. Whenever you're sleeping!
