The Walkabouts - The Light Will Stay On lyrics

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 x2 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 x2 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 x2 And long after we're safe The lights will not fade x2
