[Verse 1]
My absent friend
It's gone quiet again
Thieves making his bed
Oh leave him their [Bibles?] and books on his chest
For he knows my best
In my absent s**
So until I learn
He will sing to himself softly under his breath
[Chorus 1]
Sing it loud, oh sing it loud
I'll be part of your way
I'll listen through the walls until
You learn to let me stay
[Verse 2]
On All-Hallow's Eve
We try to believe
There's somewhere between
The tricks and the treats, there was something to keep
And I was in white
And he was in black
I gave my best fight
But he gave me nothing he did not want back
[?]
That way makes my body ache with this familiar dance
[Chorus 2]
Sing it loud, oh sing it loud
I camped out on your way
If what you want is peace and quiet
You've come to the wrong place
