lyrics
It's just another blustery night in Salem, there's children at your door
You're passing out the candied apples, but I don't know what for
Three hundred twenty years ago you burned us at the stake
Damned if we did and damned if we didn't do it
I don't remember how it started, it was such a long time ago
We were up in Essex county making angels in the snow
But angels look like bats I guess to hypocrites and fools
Word got around and hysteria stepped in
Cold October, won't you usher in the winds
And bring to me on wounded wing, my nineteen long-lost friends
Brave November, you've come a day too late
We've gathered in the graveyard and blown the hinges off the gate
We rest upon your rooftops and we nest up in your eaves
We rattle all your windows and we rustle all your leaves
When you pick up pumpkin pieces scattered in the street
Don't you question any shadows that may flicker
Cold October, won't you usher in the winds
And bring to me on mended wing, my nineteen long-lost friends
Brave November, you've come a day too late
We've gathered in the graveyard and blown the hinges off the gate
I spend my spare time flying 'round the old abandoned church
Floating through the rafters scaring pigeons off their perch
Statues stand there motionless, their arms held open wide
Dust and cobwebs draped upon their shoulders
Cold October, won't you usher in the winds
And bring to me unfettered wing, my nineteen long-lost friends
Brave November, you've come a day too late
We've gathered at the graveyard and blown the hinges off the gate
