Backstory:

Alan, this is a scratch recording done with a friend, who sadly suffers from depression (you can hear it in his performance).  He normally is a very good pianist, but you can't tell here.  The melody stays in a very narrow range, which is a problem.  Anthony also strays from the lyrics and adlibs in some ways that don't always work.  I think there could be something here worth developing, but I was hesitant to go back to William out of concern that it might get overproduced.  I don't know if you have anyone to recommend who might be a good choice and wouldn't charge an arm and a leg, or who might just be looking for a co-write.  Anthony would be listed on the co-wrote but wouldn't need to be involved because I wouldn't feel right excluding him.

V1

Wolves are howling loud tonight

Halloween brings out the ghosts and ghouls

Jump out of their graves and give us a fright

They trick us all, so we look like fools



V2

Spirits dance through shadow clouds

You can feel the cold chill in your spine

Corpses wrapped within their shrouds

Unraveling their eternal lifeline



Halloween is here

Oh Halloween is here

Halloween is here

Halloween is here



Chorus

Jack-O-Lanterns are aglow

There's a hint of frost in the air

Children calling trick or treat

On this one-night horror show

For those who care to take a dare

In hopes, they will outsmart and cheat

Ghostly shapes and entities

Before the midnight moon crepes in

Halloween is here



V3

Boundaries blur between living and dead

All return to walk the earth

Arising from earthly beds

Celebrating rebirth



V4

Witches brew stirs up dark magic

Bonfires ward off evil spirits

Fate may turn ever so tragic

Listen and you will hear it

Halloween is here 



Halloween is here

Halloween is finally here



Chorus

Halloween is here

There are children on the street

They're looking for some goodies

You better hand it over, when they knock at your door

Or the ghosts of Halloween will be back for more



Halloween is here

Halloween is finally here



So you better hand it over

When the ghosts know at your door

Or the ghosts of Halloween 

Weill be back at your door



Halloween is finally here 

Don't worry

Don't have no fear

Because Halloween only comes but once a yea
