Testo Carry The Lantern

She was calling out in German
From a balcony in London
I caught a whiff of the dragon
Hanging ten off the wagon
I was ice fishing on a lake of red wine

Mr. Freedom spending nights behind bars
Like the dog that finally catches the car I found myself under the wheel
The tape got tangled in the reel
I cut my hand off in the cookie jar

But I told you and myself I'd walk line
I find the path from the light that you left behind

Carry the lantern high
Carry the lantern high
Carry the lantern high
As we go into the night

I lit a candle in the chapel
I set the tavern and the boardroom on fire
Burning little life rafts It's good for a laugh
And keeps me warm for a little while

But I told you and myself I'd walk the line
Stumbling through we carry the lantern high

Carry the lantern high
Carry the lantern high
Carry the lantern high
As we go into the night

I don't need a symphony
A simple little melody
Can cut through the darkness in the night
I don't need a symphony
A simple little melody
Is all I need to carry the light

Carry the lantern high
Carry the lantern high
Carry the lantern high
And we'll go into the night

Carry the lantern high
Carry the lantern high
Carry the lantern high
And we'll go into the night
