Lyrics
Lantern
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Silently, suddenly, comes the ghost at your side
Quietest enemy inside the dream
Perfectly this reprieve, taken, but not given
Loneliness, like a mist lost to the sea
Eyes like violence cut desire and float down to the chair
Always still God's windowsill and perfectly aware
Say you'll wait 'til morning
Say you won't run away (even today)
Say you'll keep this lantern for me now (for me now)
I believe make believe, play like snakes in your hair
Empathy, up my sleeve, not really there
Child's play in the waves by this silent lighthouse
Drowning fast, pushing hard, nature less care
Eyes like mice, cut through the lies and humourless despair
Always still God's windowsill and perfectly aware
Inside this whirlpool you find yourself spinning and ebbing and flowing to me
Nightmare diversion a hopeless uncertainty play in the wild wild sea
Say you'll wait 'til morning
Say you won't run away (even today)
Say you'll keep this lantern for me now (for me now)
