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.
The moon won't rise
It turns to dust in my eyes
Dust in my eyes, dust in my eyes
Dust in my eyes, dust in my eyes
In the Canyon, getting hard to see the light
Bring the lantern, setting fire to the night
The water's still dry
I can't get the mud from my eyes
Mud from my eyes, mud from my eyes
Dust in my eyes, dust in my eye
In the Canyon, getting hard to see the light
Bring a lantern, setting a fire to the night
In the Canyon, getting hard to see the light
Bring a lantern, setting fire to the night
The cold dark bites
The pair of things in my sight
Dust in my eyes, dust in my eyes
Dust in my eyes, things in my sight
In the Canyon, getting hard to see the light
Bring a lantern, setting a fire to the night
In the Canyon, getting hard to see the light
Bring a lantern, setting a fire to the night
In the Canyon, getting hard to see the light
Bring a lantern, setting a fire to the night
In the Canyon, getting hard to see the light
Bring a lantern, setting a fire to the night
In the Canyon, getting hard to see the light
Bring a lantern, setting a fire to the night
In the Canyon, getting hard to see the light
Bring a lantern, setting a fire to the night
