Wrap the shawl of twilight
Around your shoulders tonight
Come out and play
Hide and seek
In the cemetery
Stand still as a stone
Don't you even breathe
Lest your pressence now
Will give your self away
Dash from tree to tree
Then stone to stone
And all along the way
You're humming nonsense songs
No complaints or so now they say
See the orange and weary moon
Raise his orbic head
Saying something , not quite sure
He's muttering to the dead
There is no sound , none what be
Except your beating heart
Evening's mist drearily insists
Not a soul here shall depart

Wrap the shawl of twilight
Around your shoulders tonight
Come out and play
Hide and seek
In the cemetery
Stand still as a stone
Don't you even breathe
Lest your pressence now
Will give your self away
Dash from tree to tree
Then stone to stone
And all along the way
You're humming nonsense songs
No complaints or so now they say
See the orange and weary moon
Raise his orbic head
Saying something , not quite sure
He's muttering to the dead
There is no sound , none what be
Except your beating heart
Evening's mist drearily insists
Not a soul here shall depart
