lyrics

Holly won't you leave a light in your window
to carry this pauper home
A beacon for a soul you cannot remember
who wanders the freezing cold
Half lit in shadow walk
dust blown through city park
to siren songs
Swallowed in shadow play
lost in a book of days
well read and torn

Holly don't you ever want to go over
the field where we used to meet
It's frozen in the bellowing of October
through hum of the city streets
I ride past the abstract lawns
the streetcars, the Audubon
the window stains
Reflection stares, broken glass
boys eyes in monster mask
whose spirit fades

Darling won't you leave a light in your window
for lost boy in wonder glow
Stranded on the street I stare above fences
your warm silhouette in flow
Oh fairy of barker street
the witch masks of Halloween
bring winter's spell
Way up above it all
safe in your window warm
you carousel
