WE IN 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 LIGHT
YOU CROSS THE SEA OF NIGHT
FREE FROM THE SPELL OF FRIGHT
YOUR CLOAK IT IS A SPIRIT SHROUD
YOU 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 [ "IT NEVER PARTS"? ]
SO PLEASE, CARRY THE LANTERN HIGH
