[Verse 1] Oh, my love, the porch light’s flickering low Jack-o’-lanterns grin while the night wind blows It’s been weeks of silence under this harvest moon But the thought of your shadow still makes me smile too soon [Pre-Chorus] You drift through the fog like a trick that won’t leave Sweet as the candy, sharp as the leaves [Chorus] I’m so tired of wanting more than this haunted air I know what I should do but the ghost of you’s still there I need room to breathe, so step back from the door But the thought of your face keeps me smiling for more [Verse 2] Oh, my love, your heart’s a cold stone in the graveyard grass Since I came home the empty rooms echo when the candles pass You promised you’d stay while the spiders spin their lace I know you’ll vanish by morning, just stay till the night’s erased [Chorus] I’m so tired of wanting more than this haunted air I know you’ll leave when the morning light appears Can you just stay till Monday, till the masks come off and the ghosts go home? The thought of you still makes me smile when I’m alone [Bridge] The neighborhood’s quiet, every window a glowing eye I set a place for two even though I know it’s a lie If you’re only a memory walking through the rain Then why does the thought of your hand still ease the pain? [Final Chorus] I’m so tired of wanting more than this haunted night I know you’ll leave when the jack-o’-lanterns lose their light But stay till the street goes quiet, stay till the moon turns pale The thought of you still makes me smile… even when I fail [Outro] So good… Smile through the dark Smile while it burns Smile, my love… Till the morning returns.
