Song information
Artist: The Rolling Stones
Album: Their Satanic Majesties Request
Lyrics
(Jagger/richards)
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
