The Ghost Had a Bouquet

Autumn blaze burning Windy dark returning Howling grand The phantom fell toward land Descending on the graveyard Porcelain and tomb-scarred Shadows fled As she cooed with dread The ghost had a bouquet Ever dead but up to play A flash out from the ash Little specter on the bay My breath was so deprived And her death was here to thrive And too she never knew She made a heart back here alive She asked me, "Now, are you scared? My gown is of the grave air" Eyes ice white Drifting every night What a ghastly creature And ever striking features Terrible and truly beautiful Stay with me Queen Halloween We can sing tonight The ghost had a bouquet Ever dead but up to play A flash out from the ash Little specter on the bay My breath was so deprived And her death was here to thrive And too she never knew She made a heart back here alive Oh, you know it's true, I'm bound to earth But you're gorgeous dear for what it's worth She whispered, "There still is a way But your mortal coil couldn't stay" She said, "The moon man's skull is high And there's spirits in the air Would you like to see my home? If you like I'll take you there" I made my final breath It was my last living sound And she taught me how to dance As a ghost above the ground The ghost had a bouquet Ever dead but up to play A flash out from the ash Little specter on the bay My breath was so deprived And her death was here to thrive And too she never knew She made a heart back here alive The ghost had a bouquet Ever dead but up to play A flash out from the ash Little specter on the bay My breath left me behind When our death danced in the night And too forever true She made a heart back here alive Darkness falls across the land And the midnight hour is close at hand Some get thrill from living will But the ghost's bouquet is a wonderland
