Moonlit Streets, Broken Candy

I slip out where the porch lights dim

Crumbling leaves and a silver hymn

Moon on the pavement, coke and sweet

Searching the blocks for a heartbeat treat

Every window holds a faded glow

Every quarter says, I used to know

Names in the fog on a rattling street

Calling me back with a secret beat

I'm wandering through the moonlit streets

Looking for the lost streets

Haunted sugar, velvet night

House in the gutters, neon light

Chasing down forgotten dreams

Down these midnight candy scenes

If memory hides

I'll take the chance to find my past

In a haunted dance

Old jack-o'-lanterns grin from doors

Like broken friends from years before

Paper masks and a rusted bell

Tell the stories I can

Summer past the creaking fence

Time wears thin and makes no sense

A whisper drifts from a maple tree

Saying the lost still walk with me

I'm wandering through the moonlit streets

Looking for the lost treats

Honey sugar for the night

Ghosts in the gutters, neon light

I'm chasing my forgotten dreams

Down these midnight candy seams

If memory hides, I'll take the chance

To find my past in a haunted dance

Whisper, whisper, follow a glow

Through the quiet where the old years go

If I don't find what I came to reclaim

I'll wear the mystery like a name

I'm wandering through the moonlit streets

Looking for the old streets

Humming with the dead and the livid too

Every cracked brick shining blue

I'm chasing after garden dreams

Down these midnight candy scenes

And in my chill, I feel the past

Like a spell

That's waking fast
