lyrics

Seance on a Wet Afternoon-

Seated to the left, seated to the right
we keep the circle of hands held tight.
The woman with cold, vampiric eyes
utters a phrase up to the sky.
She says a name and calls the host hoping to see a ghost
or maybe a sign of spectral presence in the room.

The rain is tapping on our door quietly falling.
A steady somber, slow downpour beautifully haunting.

We've gathered here today for a seance in the haunted room.
For a seance on a cold, wet afternoon.
The old piano plays by itself, an old familiar tune,
at the seance on a cold, wet afternoon.

Seated to the left, seated to the right
we keep the circle of hands held tight.
Although we tremble and we shake the circle will never break.
Maybe it was just our surprise in front of hallucinating eyes-
the table began to rise to the ceiling of the room.

The rain is tapping on our door quietly falling.
A steady somber, slow downpour beautifully haunting.

We've gathered here today for a seance in the haunted room.
For a seance on a cold, wet afternoon.
The candelabra strays from the table floating through the room
at the seance on a cold, wet afternoon.

A sudden breath of wind is blowing through the room
although the window's closed and locked.
The chair beneath the sheet slowly starts to move.
Although it's empty it still rocks.
No, we are not alone. Someone else is with us.
The startled dog begins to bark.
The candles blow out. All is black and still between us
until a voice calls out into the dark......"help..me.."

Seated to the left, seated to the right
we keep the circle of hands held tight.
We've broken into the other side, into the afterlife.
We called a name, we called the host and finally saw a ghost-
the crying woman robed in white in the corner of the room.

The rain is tapping on our door quietly falling.
A steady somber, slow downpour beautifully haunting.

We've gathered here today for a seance in the haunted room.
For a seance on a cold, wet afternoon.
We heard the voices say they'll be here to join us very soon
at the seance on a cold, wet afternoon.

But then the sun began to break through the clouds.
For Heaven's sake it was over.
