The Seance

You see I’m not really sure just what it was happened
But that night this sound in the leaves and the rain
And the wind at midnight, well
It seemed to carry a dream and summon a prayer
It called out her name as that séance grew
Carlotta come to me
Carlotta in the sea
Carlotta we’ll marry
Carlotta in this deep
Then she said: I’m gonna try it
Yeah she said: I’m gonna do it now
A wild look: Why don’t you join me?
That wild look: Then we can show them all!
(Look in her eyes!) Gather the courage!
(Look in her eyes!) Throw caution to the wind!
(Those wild eyes!) Don’t listen to reason! No!
Carlotta come to me
Carlotta in the sea
Carlotta we’ll marry
Carlotta in this deep
Yeah it called out her name on that stormy night
Well it called out her name! Yeah – you heard me right
Lord it called out her name! Some kind of witch’s brood
Well it called out her name! Some demon howlin’ the moon
We’ll gather the courage
Throw caution to the wind
Don’t listen to reason
Don’t listen to reason
I swear that’s what she said before it took her away
Before you found her dead body
Carlotta come to me
Carlotta in the sea
Carlotta we’ll marry
Carlotta in this deep
It called out her name
I've been false accused!
(Look in her eyes!)
(Look in her eyes!)
(Those wild eyes!)
