Oh, since the day I met you, life hasn't seem so bad
Everything about you gave me everything I had
Sleeping in the back room or out there in the yard
I just really want you, but I always run too far
I'll carry this lantern, it burns so bright
You are the light of my life
Leaving me with thoughts of my own
Oh, but still I want you 'cause I can't be alone
It doesn't matter, no matter what I tell myself
I will always love, love you and nothing else
I'll carry this lantern, it burns so bright
You are the light of my life
After all these nights
You still glow so
I'll carry this lantern, it burns so bright
You are the light of my life
