Lantern

That night the sun sank down
And passed through the trees
The streets all drifted shut
And kept you with me

With the dim of the sun
You're giving us up

The banks rising above covered the sill
She asks if she should stay
Since every word fell quiet and still
Well, she says she will

End of us delayed
And fell to the ground
Weathered by the storm
And softened by doubt

With the dim of the sun
You're keeping me up

My love, carried away, dressed by the storm
Her lantern turned away
Swallowed by night
And feathers of rain
Well, until the sun breaks

Years flit by in a day
But I still have you today
You dressed in white and I followed you out through the door
Our backs to the wind and my eyes cast down in the storm
Oh, my love
She settles down

My love
My love
My love
My love
My love, she settles down
