My Husband’s Ghost (This Christmas)

Christmas

Christmas

Ghost

'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through my breast

Rang the chimes of saint heartache for my husband is dead

As I'm trapped in this tower, the one thing I beg

Is for my lover to return tonight, and take me in bed

On a cold winter's eve, I long for my prince

For to ravish my body in the way he once did

So my one wish this Christmas, our holiest day

Is for the soul of my husband to rise from his grave

The snow is runnin' wild and free

Shinin' in the light of a Christmas tree

And I'm prayin' to God that he'll finally come back to life

All of the gifts are on fire

I set 'em ablaze with the heat of desire

I wanna feel his spirit inside my body tonight

I wanna make love to my husband's ghost this Christmas

Whoa, whoa, whoa

I can picture it now my Christmas dream

He's pretty spooky, but he's handsome to me, tonight

My phantom lover caressin' my cheek

A candle flickers, and I suddenly scream

I don't give a damn if it's cold

Strip my body naked tonight

Dismiss the servants, relinquish your robes

And tell our young son, "Cover your eyes"

The snow is runnin' wild and free

Shinin' in the light of a Christmas tree

And I'm prayin' to God that he'll finally come back to life

All of the gifts are on fire

I set 'em ablaze with the heat of desire

I wanna feel his spirit inside my body tonight

I wanna make love to my husband's ghost this Christmas

Whoa, whoa, whoa

Mommy, there's a stranger

Floatin' through our castle

Is he my father? Is he back to raise his son?

My boy, I am your father

But I'm not here for you

I've only come to grant my wife the gift that she is due

I'm gonna make love to my husband's ghost this Christmas

Whoa, whoa, whoa (I'm gonna make love to my husbands ghost this Christmas)

Now I am deep inside (and we are both alive)

I am not alive, I died a year ago today

Won't you come back to life and keep me as your wife?

I must return to God at 12 o'clock tonight

Be not forlorn m'lady

For you have set me free

Let us share a final kiss

Beneath the Christmas tree

I just made love to my husband's ghost tonight

Happy Christmas

One and all
