The Lamplighter

Remember the limelight, champagne and roses and the song Whatever they tell you, whatever they sell you, they were wrong In time of reflection all the deceptions will be gone Now look to the new day, look for a new way, we were robbed Lonely the streetlight, Lucozade lamplight, glow in the dark Out through the estuary, out to the stars In time with perspective all you suggested was sublime Still clinging on at the edge of the world, lost city In the lamplight In time and reflection all the deceptions will be gone Now look to the new day, look for a new way, we were robbed Still clinging on at the edge of the world Still clinging on to the rags and the pearls, lost city In the lamplight
