Lights Out and Alone<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font>
\n<\/font><\/p>\n

The light is out and they quiver and moan,
\nno moon tonight as ghosts and goblins play;
\nI certainly never wanted to be here alone. <\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font>
\n<\/font><\/p>\n

But I’m afraid I have quite lost my way
\nas witches’ potions magically brew.
\nNo moon tonight as ghosts and goblins play.<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font>
\n<\/font><\/p>\n

Across the darkness bats and witches flew,
\ntheir haunting patterns across the sky
\nas witches\u2019 potions magically brew.<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font>
\n<\/font><\/p>\n

And I try hard not to look as they pass by
\nas criss-crossing in front of me I can\u2019t help but see
\ntheir haunting patterns across the sky.<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font>
\n<\/font><\/p>\n

I\u2019m afraid from this fright I\u2019ll never be free,
\nmy heart pounding so hard I can hardly breathe
\nas criss-crossing in front of me I can\u2019t help but see<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font>
\n<\/font><\/p>\n

the patterns that their broomsticks weave.
\nThe light is out and they quiver and moan,
\nmy heart pounding so hard I can hardly breathe;
\nI certainly never wanted to be here alone.<\/font><\/p>\n
