The Kings of Halloween

[Verse 1] Hey Kathy, can you hear me? How you doing? I could use you tonight Hey Kathy, are you listening? I got a question And you were usually right Told me to go to Susquehanna And it changed my whole life You said not to rush home in the snow storm when we got stuck there on the drive And you came to rescue me You always rescue me [Verse 2] Hey Kathy, I started a garden but I wasn't blessed with your green thumb So there on my skin I planted roses I planted hyacinths I planted mums And a bouquet of hydrangеas They remind me of you and onе single sunflower like the ones you always grew And a lily for my sister Ma, she misses you [Verse 3] Hey Kathy, when we were children, you made us feel like we were the sun I never knew that we didn't have money You kept us learning and we didn't want You took us to Tuscarora We had picnics on the beach Sewed us all of our own costumes We were the kings of Halloween You drove Ian down to Philly to witness Springsteen [Verse 4] Hey Kathy, when I think that I'm crumbling, I stand up straighter because you built me strong You taught us empathy You taught us to take care of each other You taught us selflessness You taught us love So we'll light bayberry candles every year on Christmas eve And we'll be home for Sunday dinner We'll cook all your old recipes And we'll keep moving forward 'Cause that's what you'd wanna see Hey Kathy
