The January Lanterns - Lantern of Love Lyrics

Folk music fits my furniture fine
Dirt in the creases I don't mind
In this old kitchen all the kids are running
I used to sit here quietly strumming

Bring that lantern closer and my selfishness down
You pity the poor to no end
My worries and my fears run away like a child
That lantern of love, bring it in
That lantern of love, bring it in

Watching the sunset on a dead-end road
We came here, we thought nobody'd know
The times are changing, but the town can't keep up
Lonely are the trains when nobody looks up

Bring that lantern closer and my selfishness down
You pity the poor to no end
My worries and my fears run away like a child
That lantern of love, bring it in
That lantern of love, bring it in

I'm giving up all the glimmer
All the filler of a thrilling life
I'm walking out on perfection and what it might be like
I'm stopping and dropping it all
To be your cave in the cold, the wind and the snow
And the pouring rain
The pouring rain
The pouring rain

Bring that lantern closer and my selfishness down
You pity the poor to no end
My worries and my fears run away like a child
That lantern of love, bring it in

Bring that lantern closer and my selfishness down
You pity the poor to no end
My worries and my fears run away like a child
That lantern of love, bring it in
That lantern of love, bring it in

Bring it in
Bring it in
Bring it in
Bring it in
Bring it in
