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 every 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 doors are barred
You hear the stopping
Of my heart
We never part
So, please
Carry the lantern high
