The Lantern

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
(Jagger/Richards)We, on our present life,Knew that the stars were right.That if you are the first to go,You'll leave a sign to let me know,Tell me so.Please, carry the Lantern lights.You crossed the sea of night,Free from the spell of frightYour cloak it is a spirit shroud.You'll wake me in my sleeping hours,Like a cloud.So, please, carry the Lantern high.Me, in my sorry plight,You waiting ev'ry night.My face it turns a deathly pale,You're talking to me, through your veil,I hear you wail.So, please carry the Lantern light.The servants sleep,The door's are barred.You hear the stopping of my heart-we never part.So, please carry the Lantern high.
