The Ghost Had A Bouquet

[Verse 1]
Autumn blaze a'burning, windy dark returning
Howling grand, the phantom fell toward land
Descending on the graveyard, porcelain and tomb-scarred
Shadows fled as she cooed with dread

[Chorus]
The ghost had a bouquet, ever dead but up to play
A flash out from the ash, little specter on the bay
My breath was so deprived and her death was here to thrive
And too, she never knew
She made a heart back here alive

[Verse 2]
She asked me, "Now, are you scared?"
My gown is of the grave air, eyes ice white, drifting every night"
What a ghastly creature and ever striking features
Terrible and truly beautiful
Stay with me, Queen Halloween
We can sing tonight

[Chorus]
The ghost had a bouquet, ever dead but up to play
A flash out from the ash, little specter on the bay
My breath was so deprived and her death was here to thrive
And too, she never knew
She made a heart back here alive

[Bridge]
Oh, you know it's true I'm bound to earth
But you're gorgeous dear, for what it's worth
She whispered, "There still is a way
But your mortal coil couldn't stay"

[Verse 3]
She said, "The moon man's skull is high and there's spirits in the air
Would you like to see my home?
If you like, I'll take you there"
I made my final breath
It was my last living sound and she taught me how to dance
As a ghost above the ground

[Chorus]
The ghost had a bouquet, ever dead but up to play
A flash out from the ash, little specter on the bay
My breath was so deprived and her death was here to thrive
And too, she never knew
She made a heart back here alive

[Chorus]
The ghost had a bouquet, ever dead but up to play
A flash out from the ash, little specter on the bay
My breath was so deprived and her death was here to thrive
And too, she never knew
She made a heart back here alive

[Outro]
Darkness falls across the land and the midnight hour is close at hand
Some get thrill from living will but the ghost's bouquet is a wonderland
