Lantern

(album: A Wolf In The Doorway - 2015)

The heart believes in something
More than what's been said
The heart's a two-faced fortune teller
It strangles honesty and ties it to a post
When a seat upon a bar stool would be better

I do not dare to raise my head or move my limbs
To see the valley in this state
I fill my glass and let the evening take its shape
Spinning knives with luckless lovers time and fate

You're shining still
You're a lantern on a hill
And I would burn into the ground
To take you home

I will grow the words that fall
From fortune's jagged lips
The anchor and the diving bell
And though I fear I may be rudderless at sea
Aye, aye, aye, I've searched for ground
In deeper wells

You're shining still
Oh you're a lantern on a hill
And I would burn into the ground
To take you home, home, home
To take you home, home, home
To take you home, home, home
To take you home, home, home

You're shining still
Oh you're a lantern on a hill
And I would burn into the ground
To take you home, home
Home, home

The heart believes in something
More than what's been said
The heart's a two-faced fortune teller
