All Souls Night

bonfires dot the rolling hillsides
figures dance around and around
to drums that pulse out echoes of darkness
moving to the pagan sound
somewhere in a hidden memory
images flort before my eyes
of fragrant nights of straw and of bonfires
and dancing till the next sunrise
i can see the lights in a distance
trembling in thedark cloak of night
candles and lanterns are dancing ,dancing
a waltz on all souls night
figures of cornstalks bend in the shadows
held up tall as the flames leqp high
the green knight holds the holly bush
to mark where the old year passes by
i can see the lights in a distance
trembling in thedark cloak of night
candles and lanterns are dancing ,dancing
a waltz on all souls night
bonfires dot the rolling hillsides
figures dance around and around
to drums that pulse out echoes of darkness
and moving toward the pagan sound
standing on the bridge that crosses
the river that goes out to the sea
the wind is full of a thousand voices
they pass by the bridge and me
i can see the lights in a distance
trembling in thedark cloak of night
candles and lanterns are dancing ,dancing
a waltz on all souls night
i can see the lights in a distance
trembling in thedark cloak of night
candles and lanterns are dancing ,dancing
