The Eyes of Halloween

Out in the woods, this tale unfolds The ghosts now take their strangleholds They seek your eyes so they can see A ghastly search for you and me Tread with care, take silent breaths They only hear the sound of death They have their heads, both eyes are gone They hear you blink and so are drawn They lurk and sneak this time of year They cannot see but they can hear Be careful friends, don’t take a chance October is their time to dance They’re coming now out from the woods Stay indoors and guard your goods You’ll only lose if you should fall They’ll grab your eyes both big and small
