Crunch of leaves beneath our feet
Lantern glows where branches meet
Through the thicket, cool and still
Foxes watch from yonder hill
Scarecrows whisper in the breeze
And owls hum ghostly melodies
In the autumn thicket, magic hides
Pumpkin trails and haunted tides
No need to run, no need to fear
The woods just smile this time of year
A shadow passes, calm and slow
Just a deer with antlers aglow
Candles flicker in hollow trees
Spells are sung with honeyed ease
In the autumn thicket, magic hides
Golden mists and leaf-swept rides
Hold my hand, the night is near
Let’s walk through wonder, not through fear
(Hush now... the forest speaks...)
(Every twig and toadstool creaks...)
The veil is thin, the hearts are thick
With stories born in this autumn thicket
In the autumn thicket, we belong
Among the roots, where dreams grow strong
So light the lantern, sing the tune
We’ll dance with ghosts beneath the moon
(Leaves fall slow... and candles glow...)
In the autumn thicket… we know
