The Lantern — текст песни (Rolling Stones)

We, on our present life,
Knew that the stars were right.
That if you are the first to go,
You`ll leave a sign to let me know,
Tell me so.
Please, carry the Lantern lights.

You crossed the sea of night,
Free from the spell of fright
Your cloak it is a spirit shroud.
You`ll wake me in my sleeping hours,
Like a cloud.
So, please, carry the Lantern high.

Me, in my sorry plight,
You waiting ev`ry night.
My face it turns a deathly pale,
You`re talking to me, through your veil,
I hear you wail.
So, please carry the Lantern light.

The servants sleep,
The door`s are barred.
You hear the stopping of my heart-we never part.
So, please carry the Lantern high.
