The Lantern

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

Please, carry the lantern lights

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 please, carry the lantern high

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 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
