These autumn days are in full swing
The sunlight’s hitting everything
You’ve seen the lawn, so colorful
More leaves than you thought possible

And you may think you’re by yourself
Reading that book from off the shelf
But I can see your smile from here
It shines so curiously clear

Your mind must be on other things
Like what the setting sun will bring
Perhaps you’ll find a friend or two
To share the setting sun with you
But what will you decide to do?

When tragic creatures rule the night
And ghostly shadows block your sight
What else is there but to complete
This treasure hunt upon the street?
