The Lantern

[Verse 1] We, in 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 [Refrain 1] Please, carry the lantern lights [Verse 2] You crossed the sea of night Free from the spell of fright Your cloak, it is a spirit shroud You wake me in my sleeping hours Like a cloud, so [Refrain 2] Please, carry the lantern – high! [Verse 3] Me, in my sorry plight You, waiting every night My face, it turns a deathly pale You're talking to me, through your veil I hear you wail, so [Refrain 1] Please, carry the lantern light [Bridge: Instrumental] [Verse 4] The servants sleep The doors are barred You hear the stopping Of my heart We never part, so [Refrain 2] Please, carry the lantern – high!
