Rain taps the porch where lanterns sigh
Jack's grin flickers low and sly
Waves crash distant steady deep
Night breathes cold the tide will keep
Pumpkin light cuts through the mist
Halloween hums a ghostly tryst
Flame dances on the wooden floor
Midnight sings we crave no more
Salt wind carries witches' sigh
Candle wanes the night draws nigh
Footsteps echo on the pier
Lantern swings the dark draws near
Pumpkin light cuts through the mist
Halloween hums a ghostly tryst
Flame dances on the wooden floor
Midnight sings we crave no more
Fog rolls thick across the sand
Pumpkin eyes watch silent grand
Tide pulls back a hollow sound
Stars blink down no words are found
Pumpkin light cuts through the mist
Halloween hums a ghostly tryst
Flame dances on the wooden floor
Midnight sings we crave no more
Old keeper sighs his pipe aglow
He watches shadows twist and flow
Rain makes glass on porch steps sing
Night wraps round each hallowed thing
Clock strikes twelve the veil lifts thin
Spirits dance where lanterns been
Heart beats steady hands on rail
We sail home on a phantom gale
Dawn peeks pale the pumpkin fades
Porch wood dries the night evades
Keeper nods his task complete
Halloween rests on quiet beat
Pumpkin light cuts through the mist
Halloween hums a ghostly tryst
Flame dances on the wooden floor
Midnight sings we crave no more
Lantern glow fades with morning tide
Jack's smile lingers deep and wide
