The moon’s a silver nickel in a star-filled sky The cornstalks shiver as the wind whistles by It ain’t just candy and a plastic mask There’s a deeper question that the shadows ask From the hollowed hills to the old church yard The veil is thin and the gates unbarred Oh, it’s the night where the two worlds meet A little bit of bitter and a whole lot of sweet To honor the spirits and the ones who’ve gone And dance in the dark ‘til the break of dawn Yeah, that’s the spirit, let the rhythm ring That’s the song that the Jack-o-lanterns sing! Grandaddy said it’s an ancient thing To pay your respects while the black crows wing Light up a candle for the souls on the road Lighten the spirit, lighten the load It’s a celebration of the mystery A ghost of a chance to make history It’s the harvest of the soul, the end of the line A moment in the shadows where we all align Face your fears with a foot-tapping beat There’s magic in the air on every single street! Oh, it’s the night where the two worlds meet A little bit of bitter and a whole lot of sweet To honor the spirits and the ones who’ve gone And dance in the dark ‘til the break of dawn Yeah, that’s the spirit, let the rhythm ring That’s the song that the Jack-o-lanterns sing! Keep the fire burning Keep the season turning Happy Halloween, y’all.
