Halloween (off A Life Less Ordinary)


I moved in that very day
The room was small but I liked it anyway
You watched TV while I dreamed through my mind
And the pregnant girl was busy all the time
September and October passed me by
I decided to go home for a while
I got a lift with an old friend of mine
I wanted her but still she reminded me on the way
So when I got home I went to see Mum and Dad
They asked was I ok was I happy enough
And I smiled and said that I was
A few days later I decided to leave
I couldn't find anyone who could take me
The only thing I could do was take a bus
So at half six I left to get the late express
I boarded the bus with the clean washing over my back
I said I sat with a girl dressed in black
We talked and smiled most of the way
Till the jealous boyfriend angrily led her away
Then when I reached the house there was a party on inside
My friend came to the door took my bags from my hands
And welcomed me in from the night
As I was walking through the happy house on halloween night
My friends were all around and my heart was glad and my life felt actually 
alright (x2)
