I sit in the window
I sit and cry
Watching ghosts, and witches,
and goblins go by
I remember the night
Two years ago
When Jimmy died
And had to go
He went to heaven
He had to leave
He left us here
Trying to grieve
He was my brother
My best friend
I can't believe
It had to end
We used to laugh
We used to play
A life struck down
That Halloween day
I can't go out
Into the night
Children go by
Laugh with delight
My heart is filled
With hurt and pain
I feel I'm forever
In the rain
So I sit in the window
I sit and cry
Wishing it was
Me who could die
