See in our present life Hear that the stars were right That if you are the first to go Leave a sign to let me know Tell the snow Please Carry the lantern light I'll cross the sea of night Free from the spell of fright Your flow is a spirit shroud You wake me in my sleeping hours Like the clouds Please Carry the lantern high I'll cross the sea of night See in my sorry life You, waiting every night I face and turn the deathly player You're talking to me through your veil I hear you wail So please Carry the lantern light I'll cross the sea of night The servants sleep The doors are barred You hear the stockroom Of my heart We never part So please Carry the lantern high
