and where once the groom
and his bride were murdered,
it's pitch black now: every room
is deserted.
Except the one where
a grand piano is playing
Variations on a French Cancan ,
but where
is the pianist?
Do you see him?
Night after night
caught in a web of white light
he's playing the same
Very Slow and Spooky French Cancan ,
can you hear it?
The keys are touched
by invisible fingers
and now a ghostly band joins in
and a beautiful lady appears
and dances through the walls
and windows on the tunes
of this Orchestral Music Made by Spirits
and disappears
into the fog,
forever
until the clock strikes midnight again.
