One went out at a bus stop in Edinburgh One went out in an English park One went out in a nightclub when I was fifteen Little lights in my heart One went out when I lied to my mother Said the cigarette she found were not mine One went out within me, now smoked like a chimney It's getting dark in this heart of mine It's getting dark in this heart of mine We're born with millions of little lights shining in the dark And they show us the way one lights up Every time you feel love in your heart One dies when it moves away One went out in the back streets of Manchester One went out in an airport in Spain One went out, I've no doubt, when I grew up and moved out At the place where the boy used to play One went out when Uncle Ben got his tumour We used to fish and I fish no more Though he will not return, I'm the one who still burns On a fishing boat to the New Jersey shore On a fishing boat to the New Jersey shore We're born with millions of little lights shining in the dark And they show us the way one lights up Every time we feel love in our hearts One dies when it moves away We're born with millions of little lights shining in our hearts And they die long awake Until we're old and we're cold and we're lying in the dark Cause they'll all burn out one day They'll all burn out one day They'll all burn out one day They'll all burn out one day They'll all burn out one day They'll all burn out one day
