“Lantern of Love” lyrics

Folk music fits my furniture fine

Dirt in the creases I don't mind

In this old kitchen all the kids are running

I used to sit here quietly strumming

Bring that lantern closer and my selfishness down

You pity the poor to no end

My worries and my fears run away like a child

That lantern of love, bring it in

That lantern of love, bring it in

Watching the sunset on a dead-end road

We came here, we thought nobody'd know

The times are changing, but the town can't keep up

Lonely are the trains when nobody looks up

Bring that lantern closer and my selfishness down

You pity the poor to no end

My worries and my fears run away like a child

That lantern of love, bring it in

That lantern of love, bring it in

I'm giving up all the glimmer

All the filler of a thrilling life

I'm walking out on perfection and what it might be like

I'm stopping and dropping it all

To be your cave in the cold, the wind and the snow

And the pouring rain

The pouring rain

The pouring rain

Bring that lantern closer and my selfishness down

You pity the poor to no end

My worries and my fears run away like a child

That lantern of love, bring it in

Bring that lantern closer and my selfishness down

You pity the poor to no end

My worries and my fears run away like a child

That lantern of love, bring it in

That lantern of love, bring it in

Bring it in

Bring it in

Bring it in

Bring it in

Bring it in
