HALLOWS' EVE
As recorded by Show of Hands on “The Long Way Home,” 2016.
CHORUS: Go light the lantern at your door
And honor those who’ve gone before.
The worlds that part us now are twain
For Hallows’ Eve is here again.
The westering sun grows pale and wan.
The day grows dark; the nights draw in.
The autumn leaves are tipped with fire.
Fruit hangs ripe upon the brier. CHORUS
Sweep out the hearth and clear the grate
And bid fond welcome at your gate.
Gather the final harvest in,
For all the hardship winter brings. CHORUS
Between the bonfires, lightly tread
And bless the year that lies ahead.
The seasons turn to frost and dew
Before the sun its strength renews. CHORUS TWICE
CODA: The worlds that part us now are twain
For Hallows’ Eve is here again.
