Carry the Lantern Lyrics by Dave Hause

Blood Harmony

2021

[Verse 1]
She was callin' out in German
From a balcony in London
I caught a whiff of the dragon
Hangin' ten off the wagon
I was ice fishin' on a lake of red wine
[Verse 2]
Mr. Freedom spendin' nights behind bars
Like the dog that finally catches the car
I found myself under the wheel
The tape got tangled in the reel
I cut my hand off in the cookie jar
[Pre-Chorus]
But I told you and myself I'd walk the line
I'd find the path from the light that you left behind
[Chorus]
Hey, hey, carry the lantern high
Hey, hey, carry the lantern high
Hey, hey, carry the lantern high
As we go into the night
[Verse 3]
I lit a candle in the chapel
I set the tavern and the boardroom on fire
Burnin' little life rafts
Oh yeah, it's good for a laugh
And keeps me warm for a little while
[Pre-Chorus]
But I told you and myself I'd walk the line
Stumblin' through, we carry the lantern high, oh
[Chorus]
Hey, hey, carry the lantern high
Hey, hey, carry the lantern high
Hey, hey, carry the lantern high
As we go into the night
[Bridge]
I don't need a symphony
A simple little melody
Can cut through the darkness in the night
I don't need a symphony
A simple little melody
Is all I need to carry the light, light
[Chorus]
(La-la, la-la, la-la) Carry the lantern high
Hey, hey, carry the lantern high (La-la, la-la, la-la)
Hey, carry the lantern high (La-la, la-la, la-la)
And we go into the night
Hey, hey, carry the lantern high (La-la, la-la, la-la)
Hey, carry the lantern high (La-la, la-la, la-la)
Hey, hey, carry the lantern high (La-la, la-la, la-la)
And we'll go into the night
Hey
