Lyrics

I must have fallen on my feet
A hundred times or more
I heard the wind blow down the street
The knocking at the door
But there was no one there
Though I looked everywhere
So was it all a dream?
Oh Halloween

The spirits of the past
The costumes and the masks
The shipwrecks and the ghosts
From up and down the coast
They’ve all come back to see
If we were meant to be
We can’t escape our dreams
Halloween

You must have followed me back home
And hid behind my back
Noone could find me on their own
I’m off the beaten track
Well I was scared before
But I’m afraid no more
And nothing’s as it seems
Halloween

The spirits of the past
The costumes and the masks
To me they don’t disguise
The presence in your eyes
They turn their heads to see
If we were meant to be
A nightmare or a dream
Oh Halloween

The spirits of the past
The costumes and the masks
To me they don’t disguise
The presence in your eyes
They turn their heads to see

If we were meant to be
A nightmare or a dream
Oh Halloween
