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
