lyrics

autumn blaze a-burning
windy dark returning
howling grand
the phantom fell toward land
descending on the graveyard
porcelain and tomb-scarred
shadows fled
as she cooed with dread

the ghost had a bouquet
ever dead but up to play
a flash out from the ash
little specter on the bay
my breath was so deprived
and her death was here to thrive
and too she never knew
she made a heart back here alive

she asked me "now are you scared?
my gown is of the grave air"
eyes ice white
drifting every night
what a ghastly creature
and ever striking features
terrible and truly beautiful
stay with me queen halloween
we can sing tonight

the ghost had a bouquet
ever dead but up to play
a flash out from the ash
little specter on the bay
my breath was so deprived
and her death was here to thrive
and too she never knew
she made a heart back here alive

oh you know it's true i'm bound to earth
but you're gorgeous dear for what it's worth
she whispered "there still is a way
but your mortal coil couldn't stay"

she said "the moon man's skull is high
and there's spirits in the air.
would you like to see my home?
if you like i'll take you there"
i made my final breath
it was my last living sound
and she taught how to dance as a ghost above the ground

the ghost had a bouquet
ever dead but up to play
a flash out from the ash
little specter on the bay
my breath was so deprived
and her death was here to thrive
and too she never knew
she made a heart back here alive

the ghost had a bouquet
ever dead but up to play
a flash out from the ash
little specter on the bay
my breath left me behind
when our death danced in the night
and too forever true
she made a heart back here alive

darkness falls across the land
and the midnight hour is close at hand
some get thrill from living will
but the ghost's bouquet is a wonderland
