[Verse 1]
High in the stone
I keep my vow
My golden hair
Runs down like water now
A narrow room
A silent door
I trace the dust
And want much more
[Pre-Chorus]
Then I see it glow
Beyond the veil
Little lights
On the evening trail
They rise for me
They climb so slow
And every one says
You already know
[Chorus]
Lanterns in the dark
Call me by name
(come down)
Lanterns in the dark
Burn like a flame
(take my hand)
If you find my heart
Meet me below
Lanterns in the dark
Won't let me go
(lanterns in the dark)
[Verse 2]
You came alone
No crown, no war
Just kind brown eyes
And a worn-out door
You looked up there
Like I was free
Like all this stone
Was not the end of me
My hair came loose
Like a field of gold
You held your breath
Then you let it hold
[Pre-Chorus]
Then you raised one light
And I could see
Every mile
Was made for me
The tower sighed
The night grew soft
And one by one
The walls fell off
[Chorus]
Lanterns in the dark
Call me by name
(come down)
Lanterns in the dark
Burn like a flame
(take my hand)
If you find my heart
Meet me below
Lanterns in the dark
Won't let me go
(lanterns in the dark)
[Bridge]
I was never meant
For locked-up skies
I was meant to live
Right by your side
So let them watch
Let the old vows break
I choose your arms
I choose this way
[Final Chorus]
Lanterns in the dark
Call me by name
(come down)
Lanterns in the dark
Burn like a flame
(take my hand)
Long golden hair
And a sky of gold
Lanterns in the dark
Bring me home
(lanterns in the dark)
