"My Lantern" lyrics

"My Lantern"

Diamond eyes burning bright
In the sun in the park you are
Wonderful you are
My lantern in the dark
Feet on the street
Fists in the sky
I watch your poetry arc
You give me hope you are
My lantern in the dark

My lantern
My lantern

As night stitches night
With a thousand question marks
You bring me peace you are
My lantern in the dark
And the whole world's blue
Roving like a dead-eyed shark
Restless as the sea you are
My lantern in the dark

My lantern
My lantern

Diamond eyes burning bright
In the sun in the park you are
Wonderful you are
My lantern in the dark

My lantern
My lantern
