Rolling Stones - The Lantern Lyrics
(jagger/richards)We, on our present life,Knew that the stars were right.That if you are the first to go,Youll 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.Youll wake me in my sleeping hours,Like a cloud.So, please, carry the lantern high.Me, in my sorry plight,You waiting evry night.My face it turns a deathly pale,Youre talking to me, through your veil,I hear you wail.So, please carry the lantern light.The servants sleep,The doors are barred.You hear the stopping of my heart-we never part.So, please carry the lantern high.
