Jack o' Lantern
Jack o' Lantern, oh light us a path tonight!
Shadows tease with flickering shapes
On hedges and fences and doorsteps
So smile your secrets to us!
Hollow yet filled with a luminous stare
Eerie façade of what you're aware!
Long ago in the Gaelic land of your roots
You enthralled the ghosts of the time
Then traveled the waters Atlantic
To find a home on new shores.
Purple no longer the color adored
Turnips gave way to the orange gourd!
Jack o' Lantern, oh light us a path tonight!
Shadows tease with flickering shapes
On hedges and fences and doorsteps
So smile your secrets to us!
Hollow yet filled with a luminous stare
Eerie façade of what you're aware!
Light of autumn, you're often quite mischievous
Fairy glows or will o' the wisps
Or corpse candles floating
Or Jack whom the devil spurned with a coal.
Carved in the present, engraved with the past
Haunting and beckoning fires that last!
Shadows tease with flickering shapes
On hedges and fences and doorsteps
So smile your secrets to us!
Hollow yet filled with a luminous stare
Eerie façade of what you're aware!
Long ago in the Gaelic land of your roots
You enthralled the ghosts of the time
Then traveled the waters Atlantic
To find a home on new shores.
Purple no longer the color adored
Turnips gave way to the orange gourd!
Jack o' Lantern, oh light us a path tonight!
Shadows tease with flickering shapes
On hedges and fences and doorsteps
So smile your secrets to us!
Hollow yet filled with a luminous stare
Eerie façade of what you're aware!
Light of autumn, you're often quite mischievous
Fairy glows or will o' the wisps
Or corpse candles floating
Or Jack whom the devil spurned with a coal.
Carved in the present, engraved with the past
Haunting and beckoning fires that last!
