The costumes and the masks
The presence in your eyes
But I'm afraid no more
The presence in your eyes
A nightmare or a dream
They've all come back to see
And hid behind my back
If we were meant to be
So was it all a dream?
You must have followed me back home
To me, they don't disguise
If we were meant to be
The spirits of the past
Halloween
I'm off the beaten track
They turn their heads to see
Oh Hallo, Halloween
The costumes and the masks
If we were meant to be
The knocking at the door
Halloween
But there was no one there
The costumes and the masks
The spirits of the past
No one could find me on their own
Halloween
We can't escape our dreams
Though I looked everywhere
I heard the wind blow down the street
To me, they don't disguise
A nightmare or a dream
Well, I was scared before
They turn their heads to see
From up and down the coast
And nothing's as it seems
The spirits of the past
The shipwrecks and the ghosts
Halloween
