The Walkabouts - The Light Will Stay On

Songwriters: Chris Eckman

I go to sleep

Before the devil wakes

And I wake up

Before the angels take

All my worldly desires

All my yardsticks of fear

Hangin' down, hangin' down

I go to sleep

Before the devil wakes

And I wake up

Before the angels take

All my secrets untold, all my motives unclear

Hangin' down in the fire burnin' them higher

Won't take them away from here

And long after we're gone

The light will stay on

The light will stay on

Watched the city, city of crows

Watched them fly

Watched 'em all flyin' low

Out above the flood plain just above the dirt road

They were hungry as winter, hungry as us

Not afraid to be flyin', not afraid to be lost

And long after we're gone

The light will stay on

The light will stay on

And if you bury me add three feet to it

One for your sorrow, two for your sweat

Three for the strange things we never forget

And long after we're gone

The light will stay on

The light will stay on

And long after we're safe

The lights will not fade

The lights will not fade
