[INTRO] [VERSE 1] Halloween is over. The whole town sleeps. I walk from house to house, turning their porch lights low. [VERSE 2] I watch through the curtains. Little ghosts are sleeping. Good. They kept their costumes on. [PRE-CHORUS] Breath after breath... Window after window... I sing between my teeth. [CHORUS] Hush now... Hush now... Happy Halloween. Hush now... Hush now... Let me breathe you in. [VERSE 3] The owls watch me. Their heads turn slowly. My little friends. They always know. [VERSE 4] House after house... Until I see one shining. Every window is awake. [PRE-CHORUS] I blow once. All the lights go out. The house becomes quiet. [CHORUS] Hush now... Hush now... Happy Halloween. Hush now... Hush now... Let me breathe you in. [VERSE 5] No ghosts inside. How strange. I smile. The window leaves me a little space. [VERSE 6] I twist through the opening. My body bends like smoke. Cold air follows me. The room begins to freeze. [CHORUS] Hush now... Hush now... Happy Halloween. Hush now... Hush now... Let me breathe you in. [BREAK] One room remains. Two lovers sleep together. A little baby holds a toy. [VERSE 7] I lean toward their faces. I blow... And take their breath. [BRIDGE] They never wake. Their bodies disappear. Only their clothes remain... still holding each other. [VERSE 8] I dress the little one. A little ghost. His parents' faces... painted on the mask. [BREAK] Sleep well, little brother... [FINAL CHORUS] Hush now... Hush now... Happy Halloween. Hush now... Hush now... Let me breathe you in. [OUTRO] Through his eyes... I wake... I smile... Happy Halloween.
