The Light Will Stay On - Lyrics by Walkabouts


Lyrics
I go to sleep, beforethe devil wakesand I wake up, beforethe angels takeall my worldly desiresall my yardsticks of fearall my secrets untoldall my motives unclearhangin' down in the fireburnin' them higherwon't take them away from hereand long after we're gonethe light will stay on X2watched the city ... city of crowswatched them fly, watched'em all flyin' lowout above the flood plainjust above the dirt roadthey were hungry as winter,hungry as usnot afraid to be flyin', notafraid to be lostand long after we're gonethe light will stay on X2and if you bury me, addthree feet to itone for your sorrow, twofor your sweatthree for the strangethings we never forgetand long after we're gonethe light will stay on X2and long after we're safethe lights will not fade X2
