This song seems to be about an archaic Halloween celebration, in which the celebrators create a bonfire at the end of October as a “Gift to those for watching over”.
[Refrain]
They all came to see the bonfire
Dressed in ribbons they looked splendid
[Verse 1]
Fetch the wood, lock the stable
Clear the field, and make a circle
There'll be smoke, and lots of magic
Cider, too, and acrobatics
[Refrain]
They all came to see the flames fly
To the moon, they dance in the sky
[Verse 2]
A gift to those for watching over
Marks the end of October
There'll be smoke and lots of magic
Cider, too, and acrobatics
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Fetch the wood, lock the stable
Clear the field, and make a circle
A gift to those for watching over
Marks the end of October
[Refrain]
They all came to see the bonfire
Dressed in ribbons they looked splendid
[Instrumental Outro]
