Carry the Lantern

Lyrics

[Verse 1] She was callin' out in German From a balcony in London I caught a whiff of the dragon Hangin' ten off the wagon I was ice fishin' on a lake of red wine [Verse 2] Mr. Freedom spendin' nights behind bars Like the dog that finally catches the car I found myself under the wheel The tape got tangled in the reel I cut my hand off in the cookie jar [Pre-Chorus] But I told you and myself I'd walk the line I'd find the path from the light that you left behind [Chorus] Hey, hey, carry the lantern high Hey, hey, carry the lantern high Hey, hey, carry the lantern high As we go into the night [Verse 3] I lit a candle in the chapel I set the tavern and the boardroom on fire Burnin' little life rafts Oh yeah, it's good for a laugh And keeps me warm for a little while [Pre-Chorus] But I told you and myself I'd walk the line Stumblin' through, we carry the lantern high, oh [Chorus] Hey, hey, carry the lantern high Hey, hey, carry the lantern high Hey, hey, carry the lantern high As we go into the night [Bridge] I don't need a symphony A simple little melody Can cut through the darkness in the night I don't need a symphony A simple little melody Is all I need to carry the light, light [Chorus] (La-la, la-la, la-la) Carry the lantern high Hey, hey, carry the lantern high (La-la, la-la, la-la) Hey, carry the lantern high (La-la, la-la, la-la) And we go into the night Hey, hey, carry the lantern high (La-la, la-la, la-la) Hey, carry the lantern high (La-la, la-la, la-la) Hey, hey, carry the lantern high (La-la, la-la, la-la) And we'll go into the night Hey
