Halloween - Kirsty MacColl

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

Oh halloween

You must have followed me back home

And hid behind my back

No one 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
