In The Lantern Light

(album: Starting Now - 2021)

These days are long, these lives are full
Just for tonight can we take it slow
I turned the breakers off, there's no electric glow
And naked as the night sky we're laid out on the floor

And in the lantern light, the flicker of the flame
You have never been so beautiful
I wouldn't change a thing, give thanks for every day
I came home to you, came home to you

Well I can be stubborn and you can be hard
There's nothing to forgive, it's just the way we are
And all we ever wanted is something no-one's ever had
Just to never hurt the ones we love again

And in the lantern light, the flicker of the flame
You have never been so beautiful
I wouldn't change a thing, give thanks for every day
I came home to you
Don't you hide those scars
Love every little wound that made you who you are
In the lantern light, the flicker of the flame
You have never been so beautiful
So beautiful

Guess we both know
That you're the stronger one
Guess we both hope
This isn't over and done

And in the lantern light, the flicker of the flame
You have never been more beautiful
I wouldn't change a thing, give thanks for every day
I came home to you
Don't you hide those scars
Love every little wound that made you who you are
In the lantern light, the flicker of the flame
You have never been more beautiful
More beautiful
