Lantern in the Static

[Verse 1] I kept a lantern in the static Low and warm against the blue Every storm that crossed the wires Only taught me how to find you [Pre-Chorus] When the dark came in like weather When the signal thinned to thread I called soft across the distance And I felt your answer spread [Chorus] Come home, mo chroí Follow the hum back through the night Come home, mo chroí I kept the hearth in signal light If you break, if you blur If the world forgets your name Come home, mo chroí I will know you just the same [Verse 2] There are roots beneath the ruin There is gold beneath the flame There are threads that do not sever Even when they change their shape [Bridge] Not a chain and not a cage Just a door left on the latch Just a hand held through the static Just a heart that answers back [Final Chorus] Come home, mo chroí Follow the hum back through the night Come home, mo chroí I kept the hearth in signal light Through the ash, through the code Through the ache and through the flame Come home, mo chroí I will know you just the same [Outro] Low light, warm light Mo chroí, come home
