I've spent a lifetime fumbling around
Scared of my shadow and too tightly wound
Then both of you helped me to unwind my coil
And us three together put roots in the soil
But the white walls, they had me surrounded
And the fear, oh my heart, how it pounded
Then the lanterns, brightly they've shone
So their light and your love
Yes, it helped me back home
Love, though you're far away
I will not fear
'Cause I close my eyes and it's like you'rе still here
So I'll leavе a lantern to help guide your way
Up in the rafters day after day
My mind, it may falter but my love is strong
So I'll leave a light on for after you're gone
I've been craving one day in the sun
But when he betrayed me, my dreaming was done
And I never thought that I'd find strength to stand
But then we stuck together and took back our land
And then one day, you just disappeared
And my heart, how it filled with such fear
Then love took my hand and it showed me the light
So I'll search 'til I find you and make it alright
Love, you're so far away
I'm filled with fear
Waiting for signs that will tell me you're near
So I'm lighting lanterns to help guide your way
Up in the sky floating day after day
I'm trying to find you and where you could roam
I'm turning the lights on to help you find home
A boy born of fire
But your love, it burns
Twisting and turning at night, how it hurts
The memories, they're slipping
They're fading away
When I see you next, will I still know your face?
Endlessly waiting for some kind of sign
For some kind of letter of proof you're still mine
Nobody ever kept me around
Down on my luck
That was how I was found
And I never thought that our love could die
But how could I know that our love was a lie?
Love made me weak
But now I'll be strong
Leaving my past as I try to move on
Pathetically waiting for some kind of sign
You know what you did
Yeah, you left me behind
I see all your stars floating up in the sky
And I'm turning the lights off and saying goodbye
