Ghosts of October

[Verse]
Leaves fall slow on Maple Street
Pumpkin grins in twilight’s fleet
Whispers ride on autumn's air
Lonely hearts meet shadows there
[Verse 2]
Childhood ghosts in apple scent
Candlelight where hopes were spent
Crisp nights drape like whispered dreams
Lunar beams on frozen streams
[Chorus]
Oh
October
Take me back
Through haunted fields and midnight tracks
Longing for a time now gone
When hearts were brave and nights were long
[Verse 3]
Bare branches croon a mournful tune
Old love letters
Under the moon
Crimson skies and cider spills
Echoes in the hollow hills
[Bridge]
Faint memories in fall's embrace
Jack-o'-lanterns' flickered face
Waning warmth
The chill sets in
Yearning for an old flame’s grin
[Chorus]
Oh
October
Take me back
Through haunted fields and midnight tracks
Longing for a time now gone
When hearts were brave and nights were long
