Raise That Lantern

(앨범: Hold On To Me - 1988)

I can't hold out here much longer
Over you, over me, roll that load over me

I can't hold out here much longer
The storm won't ever break
Those lights won't ever shine
I've been nailed up, shown no mercy
There's a curse upon this land
Honey, I'm dying on the vine

Raise that lantern, keep it bright
Hold it close, so I can see
Sleep in tears by yourself tonight
Roll that load over me

I've been sold out, held to ransom
Thrown into the wind
So I know which way it blows
I've been locked out, shown no pity
In a faithless town
You're gonna reap what you sow

Raise that lantern, keep it bright
Hold it close, so I can see
Sleep in tears by yourself tonight
Roll that load over me

Over you, over me, roll that load over me...
