[Lyric] The Girl in the Pumpkin Patch (Craig Bonner)

[Verse 1]
There's a girl outside in the pumpkin patch
With golden braided hair
She skips along in a playful trance
Through the grass without a care
She floats across the misty morning pond
And vanishes in the air
She can sometimes be seen along the edge of the woods
Behind the old brown house on the hill
There's a candle burning every Halloween night
Flames soaring from her windowsill

[Chorus]
On a cold winter day
Some people say
You can see her footprints in the snow
Heading to her grave in thе icy waters below
She was going to meet hеr lover at the bottom of the hill
Some say he wanders in the woods out there still
A noble man, a preacher
Three times her age
Well the time had no boundaries
Kept him locked up in a cage
[Verse 2]
The wind picked up on that Halloween night
And the air began to chill
The shutters were rattling as she blew out the candle
That was sitting on her windowsill
She ran down to the lake into her perilous fate
Waiting down at the bottom of the hill
She saw the image of a man with outstretched arms
Call her name from across the lake
She got halfway out and cried a horrific shout
As the ice began to break

[Chorus]
On a cold winter day
Some people say
You can see her footprints in the snow
Heading to her grave in the icy waters below
She was going to meet her lover
At the bottom of the hill
Some say he wanders in the woods out there still
A noble man, a preacher
Three times her age
Well the time had no boundaries
Kept him locked up in a cage
