about
This is one of my favorite songs we've ever written. It is about a friend of ours who passed away. It covers a lot of the emotions that were involved for us... nostalgia, remembering her cheerfulness, not wanting her to go, even a little anger, and then, at the very end, on a hopeful note.
lyrics
Lantern girl,
Bring in some light to this world.
It’s so grey.
Lantern girl,
Bring in some light to this world.
It’s so great to see you smiling,
While the days are slowly filing by,
And the rain is piling up on the leaves outside.
Don’t wake up before I go.
Happiest girl I’ve ever known.
The fog leads you away and I say, don’t go.
The fog leads you astray and I say, don’t go.
Don’t go.
Evening sky calls your name,
The clouds float by the sun’s doused flame.
Evening sky calls your name,
The clouds float by,
But we remain.
The stars lead you away and I say, don’t go.
The stars lead you astray and I say don’t go.
Don’t go.
