The Lantern Lyrics - The Rolling Stones

1 We, in our present life

2 Knew that the stars were right

3 That if you are the first to go

4 You'll leave a sign to let me know

5 Tell me so

6 Please, carry the lantern lights

7 You crossed the sea of night

8 Free from the spell of fright

9 Your cloak it is a spirit shroud

10 You'll wake me in my sleeping hours

11 Like a cloud

12 So please, carry the lantern high

13 Me, in my sorry plight

14 You waiting every night

15 My face it turns a deathly pale

16 You're talking to me through your veil

17 I hear you wail

18 So please, carry the lantern light

19 The servants sleep

20 The door's are barred

21 You hear the stopping of my heart

22 We never part

23 So please, carry the lantern high
