LIGHTS OUT AND ALONE (a bit of pre-Halloween “darkness”)
Lights Out and Alone
The light is out and they quiver and moan,
no moon tonight as ghosts and goblins play;
I certainly never wanted to be here alone.
But I’m afraid I have quite lost my way
as witches’ potions magically brew.
No moon tonight as ghosts and goblins play.
Across the darkness bats and witches flew,
their haunting patterns across the sky
as witches’ potions magically brew.
And I try hard not to look as they pass by
as criss-crossing in front of me I can’t help but see
their haunting patterns across the sky.
I’m afraid from this fright I’ll never be free,
my heart pounding so hard I can hardly breathe
as criss-crossing in front of me I can’t help but see
the patterns that their broomsticks weave.
The light is out and they quiver and moan,
my heart pounding so hard I can hardly breathe;
I certainly never wanted to be here alone.
