The Light Will Stay On Lyrics - Singles - Walkabouts

I go to sleep, before 

The devil wakes 

And I wake up, before 

The angels take 

All my worldly desires 

All my yardsticks of fear 

All my secrets untold 

All my motives unclear 

Hangin' down in the fire 

Burnin' them higher 

Won't take them away from here 

And long after we're gone 

The light will stay on 

The light will stay on 

Watched the city, city of crows 

Watched them fly, watched 

'Em all flyin' low 

Out above the flood plain 

Just above the dirt road 

They were hungry as winter, 

Hungry as us 

Not afraid to be flyin', not 

Afraid to be lost 

And long after we're gone 

The light will stay on 

The light will stay on 

And if you bury me, add 

Three feet to it 

One for your sorrow, two 

For your sweat 

Three for the strange 

Things we never forget 

And long after we're gone 

The light will stay on 

The light will stay on 

And long after we're safe 

The lights will not fade 

The lights will not fade
