Tonight, All Hallows Night, I feel the underspin Feel the northern latitudes, the dark begin The month of blood, the end of light Everybody deserves a last reprieve This is my ghost, this is my night I stand at the door of winter's eve I stand at the door of winter's eve Born October 31,a firebrand Loud and in your face just like the Basie band In later years he gathered in All his shadows in a house of tin So full of rage, still so aggrieved Stuck at the door of winter's eve He was stuck at the door of winter's eve There's still so much I want to do And the winter is a gateway through There's still so much I want to do The houses glow against the dark There are lanterns in the local park They light the way out to the street Everybody's got two feet I'll make a plan before I leave Here at the door of winter's eve There's still so much I want to do And the winter is a gateway through There's still so much I want to do
