The Light Will Stay On

I go to sleep Before the devil wakes And I wake up Before the angels take All my secrets untold All my motives unclear Hanging down in the fire Burning them higher Won't take them away from here And long after we're gone The light will stay on The light will stay on Watched the city City of crows Watched them fly Watched them all flying low Out above the flood plain Just above the dirt road They were hungry as winter Hungry as us Not afraid to be flying Not afraid to be lost And long after we're gone The light will stay on The light will stay on Long after we're gone The light will stay on The light will stay on And if you bury me Add three feet to it One for your sorrow Two for your sweat Three for the strange things We never forget Long after we're gone The light will stay on The light will stay on Long after we're gone The light will stay on The light will stay on Long after we're safe The lights will not fade The lights will not fade Long after we're safe The lights will not fade The lights will not fade
