Thread Name: Halloween Songs [1]
Subject: RE: halloween songs
Hi everyone.

I'm seeking a specific song...it's been close to 12 years since I heard it last, and I never heard the song in its entirety. I've searched for years, and I'm finally handing it over. I've written down the lyrics that it had, but I don't know what genre even to call it. Folk music is the best I can think of because it was very simple...some light background instruments, and a woman's voice more or less 'talking'. It wasn't really singing, and it was by no means rock or heavy metal or anything.

The lyrics:

On Hallow's Eve, A Moonlit night,
On Samhain when the veil is thin,
Between the worlds of dark and light,
Dare you let a stranger in?

She draws out the words Eve, veil, is, thin, and stranger. I remembered that much of it, but it went on to more or less be a ballad about a woman who let a stranger in during Halloween, took him as her lover, and he vanished in the morning light since he was actually a ghost. It was really good, but I have no clue where else to look.

Can you please help?
