The Lantern Lyrics by Rolling Stones

The Lantern Lyrics

    We, on 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'll wake me in my sleeping hours,
    Like a cloud.
    So, please, carry the Lantern high.

    Me, in my sorry plight,
    You waiting ev'ry 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 door's are barred.
    You hear the stopping of my heart-we never part.
    So, please carry the Lantern high.
