lyrics

Midnight Passed Here An Hour Ago Or So
This Moonlit Hill My So-Called Home
A Child Cries Itself To Sleep
Must Be Me Who's Wrong, Not These City Streets I'm On

But It's Clear To Me Now, And I Think I Understand
That I Was Just Too Young To See My Way
The Vans And The Cars Parked So Carelessly
Yet Through The Pouring Rain I See Lanterns And Stars

Lanterns And Starlight, Lantern Lights And Stars

It's Just Past 3am, Shadows Sleeping On The Wall
The Cherry Red Phone That No One Calls
And The Longhaul Planes With Their Red Tail Lights
As I Lie Awake Through The Cold, Lonesome Nights

But It's Clear To Me Now, And At Last I Understand
That I Was Far Too Young To See My Way
The Vans And The Cars Parked So Carelessly
And Through The Sheets Of Pouring Rain I See Lanterns And Stars

Lanterns And Starlight, Lantern Lights And Stars
Lanterns And Starlight, Lantern Lights And Stars
