The Light Will Stay On
I go to sleep, before I go to sleep, before the devil wakes The devil wakes and I wake up, before And i wake up, before the angels take The angels take
all my worldly desires All my worldly desires all my yardsticks of fear All my yardsticks of fear
all my secrets untold All my secrets untold all my motives unclear All my motives unclear
hangin' down in the fire Hangin' down in the fire burnin' them higher Burnin' them higher won't take them away from here Won't take them away from here
and long after we're gone And long after we're gone the light will stay on X2 The light will stay on x2
watched the city ... city of crows Watched the city ... city of crows watched them fly, watched Watched them fly, watched 'em all flyin' low 'em all flyin' low
out above the flood plain Out above the flood plain Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com just above the dirt road Just above the dirt road they were hungry as winter, They were hungry as winter, hungry as us Hungry as us not afraid to be flyin', not Not afraid to be flyin', not afraid to be lost Afraid to be lost
and long after we're gone And long after we're gone the light will stay on X2 The light will stay on x2
and if you bury me, add And if you bury me, add three feet to it Three feet to it one for your sorrow, two One for your sorrow, two for your sweat For your sweat three for the strange Three for the strange things we never forget Things we never forget
and long after we're gone And long after we're gone the light will stay on X2 The light will stay on x2
and long after we're safe And long after we're safe the lights will not fade X2 The lights will not fade x2
