lonely autumn

Lonely Autumn.

Halloween is coming and
the nights are drawing in,
and I went to bed last night
and tucked my dreaming in,

I stayed too late, but when I woke
My dreams had fled away.
I don't know if I met a wolf,
they don't come out by day.

(But if I should go out tonight,
I'll wear my nice red cape,
it hasn't got a hood, though,
so the wolves may just ... escape.)
