MARY-ENG-CELTIC-01C Lanterns After Midnight

[Intro] lanterns after midnight tremble on the quay like small unfinished prayers looking out to sea [Verse 1] Rain on the ropes and rain on the mast rain on the hour that would not pass someone was singing behind the inn a song about losing and coming in [Pre-Chorus] I was not lonely, I was not brave I was a candle beside a wave [Chorus] Lanterns after midnight, burn a little longer show me the face I remember in dreams wind through the shutters, make my singing stronger carry my heart down the black silver streams [Instrumental Interlude] [Verse 2] Three in the morning, the rain became still a boat bell answered from under the hill if you had passed here and looked toward the flame you would have known I was calling your name [Bridge] Hold back the dark, hold back the rain let one old song remain [Final Chorus] Lanterns after midnight, burn a little longer show me the face I remember in dreams wind through the shutters, make my singing stronger carry my heart down the black silver streams [Outro] lanterns after midnight tremble on the quay
