Track Insight / Lyrics

You trim the wick with salt-stiff fingers Flame catches slow the glass still lingers Black puddles hold the tower's eye Tide pulls back beneath the sky Lantern on black water burning Halloween wind keeps turning Light holds fast against the deep Promises the dawn you'll keep Gull cries cut the evening air No ship lights show no sails to bear The coast lies quiet cliffs stand guard You've worked this lens you've worked it hard Lantern on black water burning Halloween wind keeps turning Light holds fast against the deep Promises the dawn you'll keep Footsteps climb the iron stair Cold seeps through the stonework there Flame steadies in the sudden gust You've learned to trust what light you trust Lantern on black water burning Halloween wind keeps turning Light holds fast against the deep Promises the dawn you'll keep Storm glass falls the pressure drops Fiddle screams where piper stops But flame holds true in brass and glass Each Halloween the light will pass Dawn bleeds gray across the sound Keeper's log reads safe and sound Another night the dark gave way You'll tend the flame another day Lantern on black water burning Halloween wind keeps turning Light holds fast against the deep Promises the dawn you'll keep Lantern on black water burning Flame takes the wind and holds Dawn takes the night away
